Miloje Despic

Miloje Despic is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Cornell University, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. His research spans theoretical syntax, morphology, and semantics, focusing on cross-linguistic variation and the syntax-morphology interface.

• Research Focus: Cross-linguistic variation in functional elements (e.g., articles), syntax-morphology interactions (e.g., hybrid agreement, clitic-affix distinction).
• Languages Studied: Slavic (Serbian, BCMS), Turkic, Algonquian (Cheyenne).

Publication Trends: Recent work addresses reflexive possessive agreement in Mongolian, nominal ellipsis in Serbian, cyclic and multiple agreement in Cheyenne, markedness in Algonquian theme signs, and non-intersective adjectives. His research intersects syntactic theory, morphological anomalies, and semantic interpretation.
