Biographie
I am a typologist, with a keen interest in diachronic processes pertaining to morpho-syntax, language variation and change, areal linguistics and language contact. Topics that I have worked on include the domains of verbal number, negation, Noun Phrase, attributive modification, possession, classifiers, and deictics, inter alia. The focus of my work has been on South American indigenous languages, for the reason that the languages of this continent show numerous patterns and grammatical traits which are cross-linguistically unusual and challenging. My current research at Liege University encompasses typology and diachrony of verbal plural markers in South American languages. I am also part of a team working on synchrony and diachrony of negation in non-verbal predicates in Indo-European. Before that, I was a holder of the Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (EU funding) investigating the role of language contact in the development of a functionally dispreferred pattern of (postverbal) negation in South American languages. That project arose from my previous work on typology and diachrony of negation in different language families in South America and cross-linguistically. Other areas of my interest and expertise - areal linguistics and language contact in South America, structure of the Noun Phrase, among others, stem from my PhD thesis (2012).
