Hi there! I’m Serra Comert, a second-year graduate student at the University of Southern California.

My interests include semantics, pragmatics, and psycholinguistics. I am currently working on Turkish semantics, and the relationship between language processing and general cognition.

I am particularly interested in:

  • Evidentials, and their extensions,
  • Nominalized “complements” to nouns, and their resemblance to the nominal constructions,
  • Null arguments and their interpretation,
  • Linguistic prominence, and how it interacts with other perceptual domains.
