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.
