My main research interests are argument structure and syntax in signed and spoken languages. I am also interested in the age of acquisition effects on morphosyntactic complexity. I have previously worked on the causative-inchoative alternation, the age of acquisition effects on multi-predicative structures, and null arguments in Turkish Sign Language (TİD). I am currently interested in emphatic reflexives and anaphora in TİD and Turkish.

I received my B.A in Linguistics from Dokuz Eylül University and my M.A. in Linguistics from Boğaziçi University.
