Giorgos Spathas
Post-doctoral researcher at Leibniz - Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft
I am a theoretical linguist currently working as a post-doctoral researcher (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) at the Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft in Berlin.
My primary research interests are the syntax and semantics of natural language, the interface between these two components of grammar and their connection to prosody.
