Research
One
of the primary goals in formal linguistic research today is to understand what constitutes
our knowledge of language, i.e., What do we know when we know a language? How
do we come to know it? My own work over the past several years has contributed
to this research program by examining the morphology and syntax of Russian and
other Slavic languages in light of various principles proposed to account for
the grammatical structures of other languages. In particular, I have been
interested in the relationship between subjects and verbal predicates and the
interactions between argument structure, Case, and agreement.
