As part of the collaborative project Variation in Exceptive Structures (NSF-funded BCS-2116343 and BCS-2116344) and in collaboration with Kevin Yu (University of Florida), I have worked on the distribution, morphology and syntax of exceptives in Modern Hebrew.  

• How do exception markers differ?

• Are Modern Hebrew exceptives clausal or phrasal? 

• What restrictions apply to the exceptive phrase and to the associate?

I have worked as a co-research assistant with Aynat Rubinstein on experimental methodology for mapping the development of Modern Hebrew modality. The project explores the development and innovations in the expression of world-dependency, using speaker judgements on corpus data. 

• How can speakers be prompted to identify modal expressions in a corpus?

I have worked as a co-research assistant with Luka Crnič on surface DP coordination, exploring challenges to existing approaches, primarily to the assumption that DP coordination consists of full-clause coordination and ellipsis. The project was presented in Sinn und Bedeutung 28 and supported in part by the Israel Science Foundation (2861/21). 

• Does natural language coordination mirror standard logical operators?

• If surface DP coordination is underlined by full clause coordination and ellipsis, can it predict all readings available with raising predicates?
