Gabi Danon: Research interests

My main area is generative syntax and the syntax-semantics interface. I am mostly interested in the following topics:

  • morphosyntactic features and their representation (especially nominal features)
  • agreement and its effects on interpretation
  • grammatical number and syntactic plurality
  • the syntax of numerals and other determiners
  • the internal syntax of noun phrases
  • the syntactic encoding of definiteness and its relation to the structure of the noun phrase
  • mismatches between the syntactic encoding of definiteness and the semantic definite-indefinite distinction
  • case and differential object marking
  • features and underspecification
  • feature-based grammar formalisms
