About Me

My research interests are focused on syntax theory and morphology. Currently, I’m working on the nature of head movement as a syntactic and morphological operation and its interactions with some other phenomena such as ellipsis, imperatives and word order. I’m also a junior researcher at the Buenos Aires Philosophy of Cognitive Science Research Group.
