Linguistics

Karlos Arregi, Assistant Professor in Linguistics, specializes in syntactic theory, especially the interface of syntax with morphology, phonology, and semantics. Drawing mostly on data from Basque and Romance languages (mostly Spanish), Arregi investigates grammatical properties of linguistic expressions to see if they can be explained in terms of syntactic rules or in terms of principles that regulate the interface of syntax with other modules of grammar.
