After completing undergraduate studies in mathematics,
linguistics and Romance philology, I pursued my interest in the formal
investigation of language by undertaking a PhD at MIT. My thesis work,
concentrating on Slavic aspect and its implications for Universal Grammar,
was undertaken in an atmosphere of interaction between the Department
of Linguistics and Philosophy and the Department of Brain and Cognitive
Sciences. I have taught at several universities in the United States and
in Australia, principally in syntax, phonetics, phonology, morphology
and formal semantics, but also in the areas of cognition, literacy and
first language acquisition.
