I am in my fourth year of the Ph.D. program in Linguistics at the University of Southern California. I'm interested in syntax, semantics and psycholinguistics. The topics I have been recently working on include processing of the semantics of superlatives and majority quantifiers in Polish and Bulgarian, the semantics of the scalar particles ('aż' and 'čak') and exceptives ('dopiero') in Slavic, the Polish subjunctive particle 'by' and clause typing, coordinated multiple wh-questions, superlatives and focus association, complement coercion with morphologically complex nouns in Polish, and, together with my advisor, Roumi Pancheva, the syntax and semantics of comparatives in Slavic.
