Research Interests




I’m a graduate student in linguistics, interested in topics in syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their interface. My dissertation addresses issues in the syntax and semantics of degree modification. Additional research projects include the study of resumptive pronouns in Hebrew and the boundary between truth-conditional meaning and pragmatic meaning (what is said vs. what is implicated) and the diversity of implicatures with respect to the way they are processed.
