PhD projects

I am interested in supervising innovative and rigorous projects grounded in linguistic theory that investigate non-native language acquisition of properties at the interface of syntax and semantics or syntax and discourse. I am particularly interested in projects involving Japanese or other East Asian languages, but I am open to work on other languages too. I also welcome projects on (1) application of generative second language acquisition research findings to the language classroom; and (2) research methodology in generative second language acquisition research.
