I graduated in mathematics and English in 1999, I got my PhD in English linguistics in 2007. My main fields of interest are semantics, pragmatics and experimental linguistics.

My primary research interests are related to the syntax/semantics interface and experimental pragmatics. I have worked on mood choice in complement clauses, the interpretation of focus structures and the pronoun interpretation problem in Hungarian. My current research explores the use of demonstratives from a crosslinguistic perspective, with a special reference to Hungarian.
