Members of the Hyperspacing the Verb Project

Boban Arsenijević is a linguist conducting research in the areas of theoretical, corpus and experimental approaches to morphology, syntax and semantics, mainly focusing on Slavic languages. His interests range from the verbal aspect, argument structure and morphology, over agreement, gender and number, to quantification and reciprocity, and clausal subordination – taking the formal theoretical perspective, but also the perspective of acquisition and processing. He obtained his PhD from the university of Leiden, and currently holds a professorship for Slavic linguistics at the University of Graz. More.

Katarina Gomboc Čeh is a PhD student at the University of Nova Gorica. She graduated and got her master’s degree from the University of Ljubljana. She focuses primarily on formal syntax, with a focus on Slavic languages. Her main areas of interest are modality, verb aspect, second language acquisition, bilingualism, and multilingualism. More.

Franc Marušič is a professor of linguistics at the Center for Cognitive science at the University of Nova Gorica. He graduated in Linguistics in 2005 at the Stony Brook University. His main area of interest is Slovenian syntax with special focus on verb agreement, ellipsis, and internal syntax of the noun phrase. More.

Stefan Milosavljević is a PhD student at the University of Graz, currently engaged in the project Hyperspacing the Verb: The interplay between prosody, morphology and semantics in the Western South Slavic verbal domain. He graduated and earned his master’s degree from the University of Belgrade. His main fields of interest are syntax, semantics and pragmatics, with a focus on Slavic languages, especially verbal aspect, subject-verb agreement, anaphors and pronouns.

Petra Mišmaš is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nova Gorica where she also got her PhD. She focuses primarily on syntax and morphosyntax of Slavic languages, in particular on the verbal domain and the structure of the left periphery. She also works on the cartography of the nominal domain, language acquisition and different phenomena in Slovenian. More.

Marko Simonović is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Graz. He obtained his PhD from Utrecht University in 2015. He has conducted research and taught at Belgrade University, Utrecht University, University of Nova Gorica and University of Graz. His main areas of interest are interface effects in prosody, meaningless morphemes and roots, loanword integration and normativity. Most of his research focuses on Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian, as well as varieties in contact with these languages. More.

Rok Žaucer is associate professor of linguistics at the University of Nova Gorica and head of its Center for Cognitive Science of Language. He got his PhD from the University of Ottawa. He has worked on the morphology and syntax of argument structure, null verbs and ellipsis, modality, clitics, and the noun phrase. He has also worked on aspects of the acquisition of number. He mostly works with data from Slovenian. More.
