Who i am

I am a postdoctoral fellow syntactician working on the Sino-Kwa project. On this project, i work primarily on Gbe languages (such as Ewe). My research prior to this project is mostly on Bantu languages, especially Zulu. Areas of linguistic research include:

• why questions (reason and purpose)
  
• topic, focus and right-dislocation
• conjoint and disjoint verb alternations
• implementation of morphology in syntax
• complementisers
• Bantu, Semitic, Gbe, and Atlantic languages
• non-verbal predication
• locative inversion and other types of inversion not involving right-dislocation of the subject
