Welcome! I am currently a postdoc at the Center for Cognitive Science of Language at the University of Nova Gorica. I graduated from the Department of Linguistics at New York University. My advisor was Maria Gouskova.

My primary research interest is the study of gradient and variable patterns in two domains:

  1. The organization of morphological paradigms. Specifically, I investigate how speakers use information about one inflected form of a lexical item to determine other inflected forms of the same lexical item).
  2. Properties of pronominal clitics, in particular their relative ordering and their behavior in embedded infinitival clauses.

I work primarily on Czech and Slovenian, and secondarily on Hungarian, Russian, and English.

My name is pronounced [gaɪ təˈbætʃnɪk].
