I am mainly interested in syntax, semantics and (computational) psycholinguistics, especially experimental and computational approaches to syntax, language acquisition and sentence processing. The overall goal is to construct an integrated theory of language learning and processing, by combining insights and methods from these fields.
Specifically, I am interested in core syntactic operations such as Minimal Search in Agree and Labeling, Form Sequence, as well as neural oscillation associated with structure building and language learning modeling. My dissertation was on a linking theory between the syntax, semantics and sentence processing of agreement and reflexive binding, exploring the interaction between linguistic representations, memory retrieval and parsing. Earlier, I've also worked on the syntax and semantics of quantification, child language acquisition of quantification, Binding Theory and the theory of logophoricity concerning relational nouns, Full Phase Transfer theory under the Minimalist Program.
