About
I am a 4th year Linguistics PhD Candidate at the University of Chicago, morpho-syntactician, avid language learner, amateur go player, and an enthusiastic dabbler of handcrafts.
Linguist’s Statement
I am interested in researching the systematic grammatical underpinnings of cross-linguistic variation, specifically with regards to how syntax and its interfaces with morphological, phonological, and semantic systems facilitate and constrain the range of cross-linguistic variety in phenomena such as affixation and cliticization mechanisms, the availability of different types of ellipsis, the realization of agreement and concord, and linearization of syntactic structures.
