My current research focuses on, in no particular order, proper names, locatives, case, predication, scalarity, numerals, agreement and phi-features. I am mostly interested in syntax and semantics, but also work in morphology and phonology.

We argue that both processes have to do with the scope of the degree operator, namely, that degree fronting is a diagnostic of clausal scope of the degree operator, while right extraposition is overt QR to the DP-internallanding site where a quantifier can be interpreted.
