Dmitry Ganenkov

Dr. Dmitry Ganenkov is a Researcher in the Department of Research Area 3 'Syntax & Lexicon' at the Leibniz Centre General Linguistics (ZAS) in Berlin. He leads the DFG-funded project Exploring the edges of Obligatory Control, focusing on theoretical and descriptive linguistics. His work emphasizes Nakh-Daghestanian languages, including Lezgian, Agul, Tabasaran, Udi, Dargwa dialects, and Lak.

Research interests include morphosyntactic phenomena such as argument structure, ergativity, clitics, allomorphy, and reported speech. He actively engages in language documentation and theoretical research, contributing to linguistic typology through projects like BivalTyp.

Recent publications explore verbal concord in Nakh-Daghestanian languages and bivalent verb patterns in Chirag, reflecting his focus on syntactic theory and cross-linguistic variation. Grants include DFG support for his PI-led project. He is affiliated with ZAS and contributes to collaborative typological databases.
