I have worked on several topics to do with argument structure and event structure, synchronically and diachronically, as well as aspects of noun phrase structure, particularly relative clauses. Currently, I mostly work on syntax and language change, with my current main research project being on the diachrony of relative clauses.
I was educated at University College London, in the English Department and the Linguistics Department. I have been at Edinburgh since 2002, having previously taught at the University of Cambridge and the University of Hong Kong.
