Welcome to my personal website. I’m a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia, mainly working at the syntax-semantics interface.
Broadly, my research interests are syntax-semantics interface relations, semantics, morphosyntax and field linguistics. My dissertation is on (in)transitivizing (agent) control morphology in two Salish languages – Secwepemctsín and Nłeʔkepmxcin – and explores what it can tell about aspectual decomposition and event structure in natural language.
Other research interests are (i) the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of defeasible content in Salish languages, (ii) the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of the Dutch question-word hoezo, and (iii) morphosyntax and morphosemantics in the Germanic language family, specifically agreement (or a lack thereof), and morphological doubling.
