Research on Psycho and Neuro-linguistics

• Neurobiological foundations of syntax and lexical semantics
• Neuro-physiological correlates of phrase structure building and its constraints
• Computational models of anomalous processing (Primary Progressive Aphasia, Azlheimer etc.)

 

Research on Theoretical Syntax

• Theory of Movement (Long Distance Dependencies)
• Clause structure (expletives, copular inversion and unaccusativity)
• Syntax-semantics interface (focus, vocative, definiteness effect)
• Directionality (Top-Down, Left-Right) of phrase structure building

 

Research on Computational Linguistics

• Computation, recursion and complexity
• Formal algorithmic models of sentence building
• Language Modeling of psycholinguistic difficulties
• Graduality and Categoricity in linguistic processing
• Small and Cognitively Plausible Language Modeling
