Merhaba!

I’m Yağmur, a third-year Ph.D. student in Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I am a syntactician with a focus on the so-called Altaic languages, primarily Turkish and Khalkha Mongolian.

My primary advisors are Maziar Toosarvandani and Mia Gong.

My main interests in syntax include nominalizations, case theory, ellipsis –particularly sluicing-like constructions and VP ellipsis– and copular clauses. I also have a strong interest in semantics and am currently working on the genericity and habituality of imperfective markers in Turkish.
