Research interests include:

• Spatial expressions and functional sentence structure
• Long-distance dependencies
• Language contact phenomena
• Particle verbs and clausal organization
• Wh-movement and information structure
• Cross-linguistic syntactic analysis

Recent publications highlight empirical and theoretical work on verbal theme vowels, Slavic prefix ordering, and L3 transfer dynamics. His studies integrate synchronic analysis with diachronic and contact linguistics frameworks.

Articles demonstrate trends in:

• Syntax-morphology interfaces: Allomorphy, prefix stacking, particle systems
• Comparative Romance-Slavic analysis: Extraction patterns, convergence phenomena
• Language acquisition: CLI effects in bilingual/multilingual contexts
• Prosodic constraints: Stress and phrasing in particle verbs
• Information structure: Wh-questions in Romance
