Embedded Files
My thesis is titled Form-meaning relations in non-canonical questions. I collected linguistic data in a systematic way, via in-lab production experiments and online perception experiments. I based my analysis on a commitment-based model couched in inquisitive semantics (Farkas & Roelofsen's 2017 article) to capture the meaning of rhetorical questions, declarative questions and adversative questions and to tie meaning features to formal features.
WORD ORDER
I am interested in different aspects of word order in spoken and signed languages and in improvised gestures.
INTERROGATIVITY
I spend a lot of time examining polar question forms in different languages, trying to tell interrogatives from declarative questions.
Papers: Russian; Mauritian Creole; Chinese (Mandarin, Shanghainese, Changsha Xiang, Cantonese, and Taiwanese Southern Min)
Coming soon: Labrador Inuttitut.
