Welcome to my website. If you haven't guessed, I'm a phd student in linguistics at umass, amherst, now in my fifth year. I'm specializing in formal semantics, with additional interests in syntax and morphology. I'm mainly interested in the semantics of number, the syntax and semantics of numeral expressions, and free choice.
I'm currently writing my dissertation Testing One Two Three: The Syntax and Semantics of Numeral Expressions, which explores the structure and meaning of complex numerals, in particular cardinals and ordinals.
Here are some quick links for convenience:
Winter is just starting to creep in here. The days are short and the chill is beginning... New England weather continues to be crazy going from almost spring-like weather to flurries in less than a week..
