She is the author of Grammar and Usage for Tertiary Students. Her research has concentrated on issues in Cognitive Semantics, that is, on conceptual content and its organisation in language. Her focus has been on how conceptual metaphor and related cognitive processes such as metonymy and blending are exploited for creative purposes in language use in Ghana. Her objective has been to demonstrate the relationship between language, culture and thought and also to reveal the existence of a coherent conceptual organisation in language, which derives from our bodily and social experience.
