Education and career
Evans received his PhD in linguistics from Georgetown University in 2000. His research relates to the domains of space and time. He also works on lexical and compositional semantics, as well as figurative language, abstract thought, and digital communication, especially Emoji.
Evans is the architect of the theory of lexical concepts and cognitive models (LCCM Theory). He is editor-in-chief of the journal Language and Cognition, published by Cambridge University Press.
Evans' book "The Language Myth: Why language is not an instinct", written for a general audience, aims to refute Steven Pinker's 1994 "The Language Instinct" and the universal grammar of Noam Chomsky, claiming that a Kuhnian paradigm shift was under way in linguistics.
