Short bio

I am a Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University Bloomington. I obtained my Ph.D. in Hispanic Linguistics from the Ohio State University, with a dissertation titled "The meaning of approximative adverbs: Evidence from European Portuguese". After getting my Ph.D. I was a post-doc in the Linguistics Department at Stanford University, and then an Assistant Professor at the University of Liverpool in the UK and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before specializing in Linguistics, I studied Latin and Greek; I obtained a B.A. in Classical Languages and Portuguese from the University of Coimbra, Portugal.
