Research experience & theory

Hi everyone. NYU is asking me for my research experience in linguistics, but my only research experience (if that can be considered research) is research to write my honors thesis on semantics, which is 100% theoretical. I just read up on the literature and wrote a reply. I didn't do any lab experiments or anything.

 

3/6 credits of my honors thesis in my school are used for research, but does theoretical stuff count?

Everthing that expands the current knowledge is considered as research, even if it is theoretical.

I don't know much about linguistics, but certainly Einstein's work on Theory of relativity counts as research despite no experiments (when it was published) conducted.
