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. In terms of syntax, I have published on the interaction of event structure and passives in Italian and am currently working on Italian absolute clauses.
