Ph.D., Theoretical and Applied Linguistics
I am a researcher at Research Computing Center, Lomonosov Moscow State University, investigating agreement variation in Russian. I am also interested in nonfinite clauses, i.e. infinitives and nominalizations, and negative polarity items licensing. In my research I primarily use methods of experimental syntax with particular interest in linguistic variation.
With my supervisor Prof. Dr. Habil. Ekaterina Lyutikova I teach a course on experimental syntax at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (Lomonosov MSU).

Quantitative Methods of Investigating Grammar
(A Case Study of Agreement Variation in Russian)
For my dissertation, I conducted a multifactorial study of binominal copular clauses in Russian (specificational and predicational). My goal was to define a set of parameters that determine agreement variation and investigate whether this set depends on grammatical profiles of individual speakers. I focused on three configurations of gender and person features: mismatch, syncretic match, and full match between the features of potential goals, and conducted a series of acceptability judgment experiments that compared the three configurations.
