Research Interests

My main research interests revolve mostly around the interaction between the narrow configurational, and the non-configurational aspect of natural language (the ‘Syntax—Information Structure Interface’), syntactic theory, the morpho-syntax of doubling phenomena and the Syntax-Morphology interface in general. Secondarily, I focus on natural language development with a keen interest in first language acquisition and agrammatism.
