My main research interests are within theoretical linguistics (syntax, semantics, morphology) and experimental linguistics. I have recently looked at the interaction between scope reconstruction and morphological agreement on predicates in Swedish. I currently look at the processing and linguistic acceptability of sentences with quantifying expressions in Swedish.
Research
My profile in Lund University research portal
- Quantifiers and anaphoric set interpretation (research leader)
- When agents disappear: on the morpho-syntax, semantics and informational value of passive, middle and active impersonal constructions
- Cognitive Constraints on Sentence Processing
- Passives in English: the properties of the direct object
- Universality and domain-specificity: processing relative clause extractions in Swedish
- Set size and reference
- Variation i referens till kvantitativa nominalfraser
I work within the framework of generative grammar, focusing, in particular, on (minimalist) syntax and the connection between syntax and semantics, but also on the structure of words and word formation. My work deals with issues connected to argument licensing and argument alternations in, for instance, middle constructions, passives, and tough-constructions in English and Swedish. In those contexts, I have also been concerned with the interaction of adjectives or adverbs and genericity. I presently work on a project in which we look at the concept of grammaticality and explore how experimental methods can be used to test hypotheses about this.
