Exploring “Subextraction” in Russian

After studying Czech language in college, I became interested in Slavic language acquisition, and approached the Harvard Linguistics Department about doing research with them on the subject. I carried out behavioral experiments under Polinsky and Gagliardi in the Polinsky Language Sciences Lab and wrote two papers about our findings. The papers can be downloaded below. Though this project is currently on the back burner, it is not finished—I have a targeted, follow-up experiment ready to run when time allows, which will allow us to answer some of the follow-up questions I lay out in my second paper.
