I am at the final stage of my PhD research at Monash University, Australia. I am working under the supervision of Dr. Alice Gaby, Dr. Howard Manns, and Dr. Simon Musgrave. My PhD thesis deals with metaphorical conceptualisations of HAPPINESS near-synonyms in Indonesian, adopting the Frame Semantic, MetaNet approach to Metaphors and the quantitative, corpus-based perspective. My research interests include Conceptual Metaphors, Frame Semantics, Corpus Linguistics, and the Constructional approaches to language.
