Research interests

I am broadly interested in syntactic variation and change, and the consequences that phenomena like dialect variation and grammatical attrition have for models of generative grammar. Previously I have worked on a number of topics in syntactic theory using evidence from dialect variation, including non-canonical questions such as tags; verb raising; demonstratives, and negation.

I am also interested in developing methodologies to best tap into syntactic variation.
