Research
Interests: I am primarily interested in Language Variation
and Change. In my dissertation, I investigated the pattern of weak
object pronoun placement in Medieval Greek and the changes that have taken
place. I am also interested in syntactic and morphological phenomena
in general, issues in historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics. My
dissertation was published in 2004 (Variation and Morphosyntactic Change
in Greek: from clitics to affixes, Palgrave MacMillan). Currently I am
working on a brief grammatical sketch of Modern Greek (with Brian Joseph),
and starting a project that will investigate the pattern of pronoun placement
in Cypriot Greek.
