Keywords: Syntax Syntax-semantics interface Formal theories of language change Historical linguistics of Latin, Greek, Romance languages

My research focuses on classical problems of historical linguistics which may receive new inputs by current advances in general linguistic theory and quantitative linguistics. My main research areas are:

  • Syntax
  • Syntax-semantics interface
  • Formal theories of language change: syntactic change and semantic change
  • Syntax and semantics of the nominal phrase / DP: syntax of adnominal arguments, syntax and semantics of reference
  • Syntax and semantics of negation
  • Voice, Argument structure, Case
  • History of Latin, Greek, Romance languages
