I have a background in general linguistics, specializing in typology. My particular interest in phenomena of voice and valence-changing operations led me to conduct investigations on the psych alternation in Romance languages and beyond. Now, I am further pursuing my curiosity in typology from a geographic and diachronic perspective as a PhD student in the ERC Language REDUX project. I aim to explore the spatial and temporal dynamics of languages, language families, and language diversity across the Eurasian continent, and how these dynamics affect language structurally. Additional linguistic interests and experiences surround language documentation/fieldwork and elicitation methodology.
