Research
The syntax of features and agreement, and the role of grammatical features at the interface between syntax and other modules of grammar. Specific research projects deal with the syntax of quantified noun phrases and the use of non-agreeing subjects; and on constraints on genitive constructions in Modern Hebrew. Current work uses experimental methods and corpora for identifying robust and detailed empirical data on which abstract theoretical analyses can be based.
