Sandhya Sundaresan
I am an Assistant Professor & the Anandavalli & Dr. G. Swaminathan Endowed Research Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Stony Brook University.
.
My research program explores two broad questions:
-
For a given grammatical phenomenon, what is the nature of interaction and division of labor between syntax and its interfaces with morphology and semantics, within a modular grammar?
-
What can dialectal and crosslinguistic variation tell us about how a given phenomenon should be syntactically modelled?
