Her academic career spans theoretical and descriptive linguistics with a focus on understudied languages of the Caucasus region. Her educational background includes a PhD in Linguistics from Harvard University (2004), an MA in Linguistics from Boğaziçi University (1999), and a BA in Translation and Interpretation from Boğaziçi University (1996). Her research interests center on Caucasian Languages, Altaic Languages, Turkish Languages, Theoretical Syntax, and Semantics. She has made significant contributions to the documentation and analysis of Laz language varieties, particularly Pazar Laz, Ardesheni Laz, and Muş Kurmanji. Her work bridges theoretical syntax with empirical fieldwork on lesser-documented languages, examining phenomena like case systems, applicatives, verb-framing, and possessive constructions. Her recent publications reveal a strong trend toward computational linguistics applications, particularly in Turkish language processing, while maintaining her core research on Caucasian languages. This dual focus demonstrates her ability to integrate theoretical linguistic insights with practical computational applications. She has served as principal investigator or researcher on multiple significant projects including the Deep Learning Based Turkish Dependency Parser (2018-present), Language Interaction in Turkey: Documentation and Analysis (2018-present), and Argument and Adjunct Distinction in Muş Kurmanji (2017-present), all funded by TÜBİTAK and Boğaziçi University Research Fund. Her teaching portfolio includes undergraduate courses in Morphology (Ling 202), Syntax (Ling 203), Typology (Ling 206), and Syntax and Semantics of Turkish (Ling 314), as well as graduate courses in Syntactic Theory (Ling 541), Readings in Linguistics (Ling 572), and Syntax of Voice (Ling 58H).

Elena Guerzoni serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Boğaziçi University, where she advises MA and PhD students from her office in JF 305. Her academic foundation includes a Ph.D. in Linguistics from MIT (2003) and a Laurea in Philosophy from Università degli Studi di Milano (1997). Her educational background is reflected in her dual focus on formal linguistic theory and philosophical underpinnings of language. She has taught undergraduate courses including Introduction to Linguistics (Ling 101/111) and Semantics (Ling 305), alongside graduate seminars in Advanced Semantics (Ling 58C/V), Presupposition and Implicature (Ling 613), and Directed Readings in Linguistics (Ling 572/570/579). Guerzoni's research centers on the syntax-semantics-pragmatics interface, with pioneering work on negative polarity phenomena across languages. Her investigations into interrogative embedding predicates, presupposition projection in questions, and focus-sensitive particles like even have reshaped understanding of scalarity and exhaustivity. She examines how minimizer NPIs interact with question operators and why certain particles license negative polarity only in specific syntactic configurations. Analysis of her 13 publications (2000-2022) reveals consistent focus on negative polarity in interrogative contexts, with increasing attention to cross-linguistic variation and pragmatic strengthening mechanisms. Her work bridges formal theory with empirical data from Germanic, Romance, and Turkish, demonstrating how focus particles constrain interpretation in question-answer congruence. As an active contributor to linguistic discourse, she has delivered 15+ invited talks at institutions including MIT, UCLA, and Hebrew University, addressing topics like intervention effects in negative concord and the semantics of whether clauses. Her editorial work includes co-editing A Few from Building E39 (MIT Working Papers in Linguistics) and preparing You Can Ask Whatever You Want (Oxford University Press). No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials, though her publications appear in Q1 journals like Natural Language Semantics and Linguistics and Philosophy . She maintains active research through manuscripts on Turkish hani and Italian verb stress, continuing her investigation into the morphology-syntax-semantics interface.

Her work demonstrates how linguistic structures emerge from the interaction of cognitive processes and communicative needs, providing insights into the dynamic nature of language organization. Analysis of Professor Keizer's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on English syntax within the framework of Functional Discourse Grammar. Her work spans noun phrase structure, partitive constructions, prepositional phrases, and adverbial modification, demonstrating the versatility of FDG in addressing diverse syntactic phenomena. A notable trend is her increasing attention to cross-linguistic comparisons, particularly between English and Dutch, which enriches our understanding of language universals and specifics. Professor Keizer has made significant contributions to the field through her extensive publication record, including authored and edited books that have shaped contemporary understanding of functional-cognitive approaches to grammar. Her work has appeared in leading linguistics journals and handbooks, establishing her as a prominent voice in theoretical linguistics.

Dr. Krzysztof Migdalski is an Associate Professor at the Department of English and Comparative Linguistics within the Institute of English Studies at the University of Wrocław, Poland. He has been a faculty member at the University since 2008, following post-doctoral research at the University of Connecticut and research positions at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Tilburg University (2006) with a dissertation on "The Syntax of Compound Tenses in Slavic," supervised by Prof. Henk van Riemsdijk and Dr. Hans Broekhuis. He earned his M.A. in English from the University of Wrocław (2000) with a thesis on "The Determiner Hypothesis in Polish." Dr. Migdalski specializes in theoretical linguistics with a focus on comparative generative syntax of Balkan, Germanic, and Slavic languages, as well as historical linguistics, particularly Old Church Slavonic. His research explores the intricate relationships between syntax, morphology, and historical development across Slavic languages. He has made significant contributions to understanding cliticization patterns, tense marking systems, and the evolution of syntactic structures in Slavic languages. His work bridges formal syntactic theory with historical linguistic analysis, offering insights into language change through generative frameworks. His extensive publication record reveals consistent research themes centered on the syntax of Slavic languages, particularly examining clitic placement rules, the evolution of tense systems, and comparative syntactic structures across Germanic and Slavic language families. His work demonstrates how morphosyntactic elements like clitics interact with tense marking and how these patterns evolve over time, providing crucial evidence for theories of language change and syntactic universals. Dr. Migdalski has received several prestigious grants and awards: Focus grant from the Foundation for Polish Science (2010-2013) for "Understanding Linguistic Categories: Temporality at the interfaces" Rubicon grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (2006-2008) for post-doctoral research on "The diachrony and synchrony of the second position effect in Slavic" University of Toronto travel grant (2006) for FASL-15 conference AIO-appointment at Tilburg University (2001-2005) Quota Program at University of Tromsø (2000-2001) As an active researcher and academic, Dr. Migdalski serves as a peer reviewer for numerous prestigious linguistics journals including Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics, Journal of Linguistics, and Journal of Slavic Linguistics. He has been involved in collaborative research projects such as the "Nový encyclopedický slovník češtiny online" project at the University of Brno (2011-2015) and has participated in numerous summer schools for generative grammar across Europe. His extensive conference presentations demonstrate his active engagement with the international linguistics community, where he regularly presents on topics related to Slavic syntax and historical linguistic change.
