I'm a PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at The University of Chicago, specializing in syntax, semantics, and their interface. My research activities fall into two broad categories. My dissertation research (supported this year by a Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellowship) is on control and restructuring from the perspective of the syntax-semantics interface. Second, I have also investigated topics in gradability and comparison in Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, partly in collaboration with my advisor Professor Chris Kennedy and with Professor Osamu Sawada of Mie University in Japan. Please see below for links to some of the work that these investigations have generated.
