I am a lecturer at Yamaguchi University, starting in 2024. I received my Ph.D from the University of Connecticut in 2022.
Research interests
The goal of my research is to better understand the human language faculty. My research interests revolve around the structure and acquisition of ellipsis, children’s acquisition of logical words such as negation and connectives, and the syntax-semantics interface of questions.
