Hello!
I am Lion (/liˈon/) Oks
I am a PhD student at Université Paris-Cité and at LLF (Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle) in Paris.
My main focus is experimental syntax. Currently I am working on resumptive pronouns in Hebrew as a tool for checking the syntax and semantics comprehension.
My work is done under the supervision of Dr. Caterina Donati (Université Paris-Cité) and Dr. Francesca Foppolo (Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca).
