Her areas of interest include negation, information structure, sociolinguistics and dialectology.[7] Her magnum opus and most-cited work[8] is her linguistic atlasofBerber varieties of the Rif: this has been described as "the most extensive atlas of dialect variation in Berber ever published" and "an essential reference for anyone interested in linguistic variation within Berber or across North Africa as a whole".[9]
