Research

I am interested in syntax (theoretical, comparative, diachronic), language acquisition and biolinguistics. In my work, I probe a so-called neo-emergentist approach to language acquisition and variation, which assumes a maximally impoverished Universal Grammar. I have a keen interest in interdisciplinary approaches to language. My PhD project studies the role of 鈥(categorial) granularity鈥 in acquisition and language change, incorporating, primarily, novel morphosyntactic case studies and also phonological ones.
