About me
I am a second-year graduate student in the University of Pennsylvania's linguistics program and a trainee in the IGERT program in Language and Communication Sciences. My primary research interest is in the field of historical syntax. Specifically, I am interested in investigating how diachronic patterns of language use can answer questions about the architecture of synchronic grammar. I am also interested in the refinement of statistical methods as applied to linguistic data and syntactic questions more generally.
