I am an associate professor at the University of Deusto, in the department of Modern Languages and Basque Studies. In September 2015, I defended my PhD Dissertation entitled Breaking Verbs. From event structure to syntactic categories in Basque at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Univeristy Bordeaux Montaigne (UBM). From January 2016 to August 2017, I have been a postdoctoral researcher in UPV/EHU and in the laboratory Structures Formelles du Langage (UMR 7023, CNRS & Paris 8), thanks to a post-doc grant of the Basque Government.
In my dissertation, I explored the nature of Basque verbs (such as etxe-gabe-tu (home-without-tu) ‘to evict’, etxe-ra-tu (home-allative-tu) ‘to go home or to take sb home’ and kanta-tu (song-tu) ‘to sing’): their syntactic decomposition, lexicalization and categorization process. Recently, I have been focusing on the categorizing prozess and the decomposition of categories, particularly looking at verbs, adjectives and nouns. I am also interested in aspectual notions that are present across-categories, for example, cumulativity.
Research interests
Sintactic Theory, event structure, aspect, lexicalization, categorization, Basque, micro-variation, case, ergativity.
