Sandhya Sundaresan

Welcome to my homepage!
I am a linguist. 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?
-
From 2021, I will be a researcher at the University of Göttingen on the project LASER: "Locality and the argument/adjunct distinction: Structure building vs. structure-enrichment" (see below for details).
-
From 2022, I will be Assistant Professor of Linguistics & the Anandavalli & Dr. G. Swaminathan Endowed Research Professor at Stony Brook University, NY.
I live in Berlin, but travel to India whenever I can. You can reach me at: sandhya@sndrsn.org
