I am a linguist specialising in morphosyntactic variation and change. I am particularly interested in sociolinguistic settings of language contact and work primarily on Greek and its dialects. My research explores the interaction of language-internal, language-external and social factors in language change and provides unified and data-driven accounts of linguistic developments that are based on the most recent advances of linguistic theory and typology.

I am currently holding a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship undertaking a research project entitled The development of heritage grammars in present-day London: the case of Cypriot Greek. The project is based at the Bristol Centre for Linguistics of the University of the West of England, Bristol. It is an investigation of the social and linguistic factors that bring about innovation and change in London’s heritage languages with the aim of increasing our understanding of the patterns that define non-English language variation in the UK.
