| Research Interests: My central interest is formal model-theoretic analysis for natural language semantics. I'm particularly interested in the internal structure of noun phrases, including possessive constructions, relational nouns, nominal argument structure, implicit arguments, plurals, and thematic relations. Other research topics include quantification, vagueness, crossover, and continuations. | Areas of Instruction: Undergraduate courses taught: Semantics, Syntax, Computational Linguistics, Cryptography. Graduate: Topics in Semantics, Introductory Syntax, Pragmatics, Formal Methods, Formal Semantics. |
