Research interests: syntax, language acquisition

With Andrea Zukowski, I am studying children's knowledge of locality conditions on reflexives. Do they allow long-distance antecedents? We are using both acceptability judgments and truth-value judgment tasks.

Also, I am interested in the syntax of long-distance reflexives. My advisor is Norbert Hornstein.
