Research Interest
My research and teaching interests are in formal semantics and pragmatics. In particular, I have worked on topics such as modality, counterfactuals, focus, presuppositions and implicatures, tense and aspect, and more recently the semantics of clitic pronouns in intensional and non-intensional contexts. I am also interested in crosslinguistic semantics and Romance linguistics.
