I recently completed an MPhil in General Linguistics at the University of Oxford, where I wrote my thesis on the processing of lifetime effects under the supervision of Dr E. Matthew Husband at the Language and Brain Lab.
- Lifetime effects in the news
- Tense fun: Back to the Future Grammar (The Big Bang Theory)
(Before data analysis) (After data analysis)
Current and recent projects
Theoretical
- Anaphoricity at the syntax-pragmatics interface
- “Tenseless” languages
- Typology of tense systems (with Nick Huang)
- Multiple dependency relations across languages
- Universal quantification over nominals and events
- The semantics of surprise-predicates
Experimental
- Memory in the processing of anaphoric presuppositions (with Dr E. Matthew Husband)
- Anaphoric presupposition trigger too: a corpus study (with Alex Göbel)
- Acquisition of manner/result complementarity (with Annelot de Rechteren van Hemert)
- Processing of tense in English and Chinese (with Dr E. Matthew Husband)
- Sublexical decomposition of Chinese compound characters (with Prof Aditi Lahiri)
