My research centers on argument/event structure, both in theoretical syntax as well in bi- and multilingual acquisition. My dissertation project investigates Spanish and Korean heritage speakers’ knowledge of resultative constructions in their dominant and heritage languages, arguing for a wholistic bilingual perspective. In terms of syntax, I have published on passives and absolute clauses in Italian, and I am currently working on the morphosyntax of Voice in Korean.
