Research
Overview
I work on a variety of topics in a wide range of languages, including complementation, logophoricity, differential object marking, genericity, person feature systems, agreement systems, information structure, speech acts, definiteness, and allocutivity. My work involves solutions that take the morpho-syntactic and the semantic side into account. I’m particularly interested in the mapping between form and meaning. My research tends to focus on understudied languages, as they often make us see things that are hidden in many Indo-European languages. Cross-linguistic comparisons are another important tool I’m using to investigate potentially universal underlying structure. In the past few years, I was able to extend my interest to the field of L1 acquisition, where I explored the acquisition of negative indefinites, past tense morphology, and conjunction patterns across several language families.
