I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University, supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. 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. I am currently working on a project entitled “the typology of wh-scope-marking questions: integrating insights from child languages,” supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
