WHO I AM

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at the University of Manchester. I work primarily in formal semantics, syntax, and the interface between the two. More specifically, my work focuses on verbal and nominal meaning, resultatives, and plurality (especially similative and associative plurality). My work is informed by the grammar of the Iranian languages, especially Persian, but also Kurdish and Ossetian, among others, based on elicitation with native speakers.
