-	Wierzbicka is known for her work in [[semantics]], [[pragmatics]] and [[anthropological linguistics|cross-cultural linguistics]], especially for the [[natural semantic metalanguage]] and the concept of [[semantic primes]]. Her research agenda resembles [[Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz]]'s original "alphabet of human thought". Wierzbicka credits her colleague, linguist [[Andrzej Bogusławski]], with reviving it in the late 1960s.	+
