  • Profile

    I am a postdoctoral researcher working (since January 2021) in the NWO Vidi project "Exceptions rule! Lexical restrictions on grammatical structure" led by Eva van Lier .

    My research focuses on the study of syntactic alternation from a typological as well as a cognitive perspective.

    For my publications prior to 2021 see my CV at HAL Open Science.
