Research Interests
|
- Comparative grammar research especially in the Romance languages (French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish concerning the syntax, the interface between morphology and syntax, and the interface between morphology and phonology).
- Historical linguistics and syntactic reconstruction.
- Phenomena: finiteness and its relation to propositionality, pronouns, the syntactic distribution of (finite and infinite) verbs, the role of paradigms in the morphology and in the syntax, the syntax of sentence particles and their relation to sentence modality and discourse function.
- The theory of grammar
