Broad Research interests
• Dimensions of meaning (semantics, pragmatics, affective meaning), and the relation between meaning and form (morphology and syntax)
• Variation in meaning and variation across languages (crosslinguistic semantics), with emphasis on (Modern and Ancient) Greek
• From meaning to messaging: rhetoric, veridicality, and ideology
• Super-linguistic meaning: meaning and motion, with emphasis on movement in dance
• Processing of negative polarity items and indefinites
• Sign languages
• Bilingualism
• Greek syntax and semantics
• Hellenic Studies Languages I have worked on: Greek, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian, Mandarin, Korean, Basque. I have published in English, Greek, French, and Dutch. Research topics: negation, negative polarity, negative concord; indefinite noun phrases, free choice and referential vagueness; modality, temporality, and the future versus past distinction; propositional attitudes and mood choice (subjunctive, indicative); temporal particles (until, before); focus particles (even, only), reasoning with alternatives; scalar inference; quantifier structure, definiteness and domain restriction; ellipsis A.

Initiatives Bilingualism Matters Chicago. Launching initiative. March 2019. Member of the organizing committee.
Antonella Sorace, founder and director of Bilingualism Matters at the University of Edinburgh, launched the Bilingualism Matters Chicago (BMC), the first site of this organization in the Midwest. Community members and local linguists will discuss bilingualism across the lifespan. I am very pleased to announce that University of Chicago is part of this initiative.
Bilingualism Matters Chicago (BMC) is a collaboration among major universities in the Chicagoland area, including DePaul University, Loyola University Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago. I was the sole representative of the U Chicago Linguistics in the organizing of the two day event.
