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
