I am a graduate student in the Department of Linguistics at UCLA. In terms of my research interests, I'm pretty into syntax and I'm really into sign language.

Lately I have been concerned with the primacy of selection (subcategorization/feature checking/etc.) in the computational system and its role in a variety of nominal(ization) structures in American Sign Language.

Sometimes I also worry about early stages of syntactic acquisition (prosodic bootstrapping), interpretation of syntactic structures (semantics interface), and development of explicit syntactic models (formal language theory).
