All of my work is done with an eye towards towards grammatical interfaces, exploring how structural properties in each domain relates to and diverges from those in another. While I am particularly interested in the syntax-prosody interface, my work regularly explores intersections with semantics/pragmatics, morphology, and linguistic variation.

The interface aspects of my research are exemplified by my work in a multi-institutional research collective, intonation and its interfaces (int²), in which I am a lead PI. In 2021, we awarded a multi-year NSF research grant for a project on intonational meaning entitled “Exploring Variation in English Intonational Acoustic Phonetics from Grammatical Perspectives” (co-PIs: Alejna Brugos, Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel, Sunwoo Jeong, Nanette Veilleux).

Some keywords for my research topics include: reflexive binding, anaphora, nominal syntax, singular they, argument structure, focus, phrasal stress, intonational phonology, intonational phonetics, intonational meaning.
