About me

I am a linguist.

I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the linguistics department of the University of Potsdam. I am also a member of the Potsdam Morpho-Syntax Lab.

My research interests encompass syntactic theory and issues at the interfaces to syntax (morphology, phonology, semantics).

I am interested in how understudied languages and phenomena can inform linguistic theory, in particular with regard to questions such as:

  • How abstract are linguistic representations?
  • What is the division of labour between different modules of grammar?
  • What is the organization of grammar (e.g. derivational vs. declarative)?
  • What is the nature of grammatical constraints (e.g. violable vs. absolute)?

I have worked on a number of different linguistic topics such as movement, agreement, ellipsis, nominalization, Optimality Theory, and inflectional morphology.

You can find out more about my research on my Output page.
