About

I am a linguist working on  formal syntax, semantics and prosody with a special interest in experimental  syntax and semantics.

Currently, I’m an Assistant Professor in the the Department of Philology at the University of Crete, where I teach Linguistics. I am PI of the HFRI-funded project (Direspeech: Interpreting Directive Speech Acts in child and adult language: The role of form and prosody), see project information and funding here.

Before this, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of English and American Studies  of Humboldt University of Berlin. I was a member of RUESHeL group led by Artemis Alexiadou.

I received my Phd from the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My thesis is about covert modality in root contexts, investigating imperatives and subjunctives with a focus on Greek and English.
