When it comes to research, he is especially interested in the ways people construct meaning through language. He is also interested in other aspects of research including intellectual property rights and the ownership, management and distribution of data. As a SADiLaR researcher, Benito is always discovering new ways to bring language and the digital age together. In his PhD, that he completed in 2022, his focus was on the ways in which Afrikaans speakers build judgement into their language by using different means. The type of words he is interested in are grouped into a what he calls morphological evaluative constructions, that is to say complex words that contain a meaning that indicates an evaluation by the language user.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qualifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>LLB North-West University, Potchefstroom<\/li>\n<li>BA Honours Afrikaans and Dutch North-West University, Potchefstroom<\/li>\n<li>MA General Linguistics focused on Afrikaans and Dutch North-West University, Potchefstroom<\/li>\n<li>PhD in Language and Literature with Afrikaans and Dutch with the title \u201cMorfologiese evalueringskonstruksies in Afrikaans\u201d \u2013 accessible <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.nwu.ac.za\/handle\/10394\/42016\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Work experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Previously Benito has been part of several projects that gave him exposure to part of speech tagging, semantic annotation, and archiving mainly through the NWU Centre for Text Technology (CTexT).
