I am a linguist.
I work at the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics as professor of Syntax and Language Variation and PI of the ERC CoG project Microcontact.
I am series editor of the Language Science Press OA series Open Generative Syntax and editor-in-chief of the Brill Series Grammars and Sketches of the Romance Languages .
I am also editor-in-chief of the new Isogloss. Open Journal of Romance Linguistics and the president of Going Romance.
My main interests are syntactic variation, syntactic change in contact, heritage language syntax, (Italo-)Romance microvariation, and the syntax-phonology interface.
