Pixelated profile image Welcome to my homepage. I am a linguist working in the Department of English Literature and Linguistics at Bar Ilan University. My main research area is generative syntax and the syntax-semantics interface. I am mostly interested in the following topics:

  • Morphosyntactic features and their representation (especially nominal features)
    • Agreement and its relation to semantics
    • Features and underspecification
    • Feature-based grammar formalisms
    • Grammatical number and syntactic plurality
  • The internal syntax of noun phrases
    • The syntax of quantifiers, numerals and (other?) determiners
    • Genitive constructions
    • The syntactic encoding of definiteness and its relation to the structure of the noun phrase and to interpretation
  • Case and differential object marking
  • Gradience and variation in syntax
    • Alternations among genitival construction
    • Syntactic productivity
  • Research methods
    • Experimental syntax
    • Using corpora in syntactic research; treebanks and dependency structures
