My dissertation, completed in August 2006 (Stanford University), is a crosslinguistic
study of the temporal semantics of noun phrases. The empirical focus is Guaraní,
a language with nominal temporality markers, i.e. markers that attach to noun
phrases and affect the temporal interpretation of noun phrases.

Here's me at my graduation ceremony with two members of my committee,
David Beaver (my advisor) and Paul Kiparsky. The other two members of my committee
were Cleo Condoravdi and Beth Levin.
