About Me

I'm a Lecturer at Harvard Linguistics.

My primary interest is in our capacity for language and its place in our mind. I try to figure out what the shape of this endowment should be given the ways in which languages vary, and the ways in which we use language. Most of my work is on the form of words and sentences, their meanings, and how said forms come to mean said things.

Before moving to Cambridge, I spent a wonderful year teaching at Yale Linguistics, got my PhD at Rutgers Linguistics, and a degree each from BITS Pilani and JNU, New Delhi in that order.
