I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Northwestern University. I hold a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Chicago and a BA in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge.

My primary research interests are in psycholinguistics and experimental semantics-pragmatics, largely focusing on the comprehension and processing of non-literal meaning such as scalar implicature. I am especially interested in how these processes vary across different discourse contexts and lexical items (i.e., the scalar diversity phenomenon). In ongoing work, I investigate how scalar diversity interacts with the semantics of exclusive modifiers, adjectival semantics, and intonational meaning.

I also have a body of research in syntax and sentence processing, with special focus on what cross-linguistic investigation can tell us about constraints on syntactic structure-building and general cognitive principles of language processing. My work in this domain has mostly addressed relative clauses and ellipsis phenomena, capitalizing on the unique linguistic properties of Hungarian.
