I'm a 2nd year PhD at the linguistics deptartement of the University of Geneva.

My MA focused on the German particle überhaupt and its interaction with the meaning of purpose clauses. Since then, I’ve been working on telic clauses like Hugo made a pasta salad, only to forget it in the fridge, which I think tell us something about how events normally unfold. This led to a project on expectations associated with the connective but with Flavia Naehrlich.

I’m also part of Isabelle Charnavel’s project on bound indexicals, which led to work on German pronoun doubling in relative clauses (ich, der ich der König bin) with Tom Meadows. Lately, I’ve been thinking about modified pronouns as in Drunk me is an idiot. and about what this tells us about the meaning of referential expressions.
