 What's new on this page 

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 editor in chief of the Brill Series Grammars and Sketches of the Romance Languages and series editor of the Language Science Press OA series Open Generative Syntax. 

I'm the co-founder of StreamGram - Open Forum for Grammatical Theory.

My main interests are syntactic variation, Italo-Romance dialectology, and the syntax-phonology interface.
