My research is centered within Spanish and Romance morphosyntax from a Generative perspective; specifically, I study the lexical-syntactic interface, middle constructions, dative arguments, clitics, event and argument structure. I also deal with issues about the position of constituents within the left-periphery. Additionally, I have collaborated on first and second language acquisition studies, and wrote a paper on biolinguistics.
