Experience

  • June 2022 to August 2022 – Assistant Professor – GITAM-HYD

Research Interest

  • My research focuses on noun modification in general and particularly on adjectives in language that do not contain adjectives as lexical items. These languages, instead, build adjectives from other lexical items such as nouns and verbs using complex syntactic mechanisms such as relativization and case marking. I seek to understand how these structures are built in syntax and how the modification relation is established within semantics.
