I am a linguist.

I am currently affiliated with Leipzig University.

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.
