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
