Linguistics

Interests

I'm mostly interested in formal syntax as well as psycholinguistics/neurolinguistics. Specifically within formal syntax, I am interested in DP structure, classifiers, and the representation of event structure. Within psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, I'm interested in resolution of anaphora, degeneration of syntactic and pragmatic ability in Alzheimer's Disease, and the effects of syntactic complexity.
