Andrea
Sims, Assistant Professor
My theoretical research interests fall primarily in the area of synchronic morphology: paradigms and word-based models, information theory as it relates to inflectional structure, inflectional defectiveness (a.k.a. paradigmatic gaps) and other form-meaning mismatches, the structure of the lexicon, and cross-linguistic differences in morphological processing.
My areal research interests include Croatian (Serbian, Bosnian), Russian, and Modern Greek, roughly in that order. I also have a side interest in the other South Slavic languages, and Albanian.
