Permanent researcher at the CNRS Research Center IKER (UMR 5478). I graduated in 2005 (University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)); dissertation entitled “Quantification and Domain Restriction in Basque”. My current research mainly concentrates on studying the syntax-semantics and the semantics-pragmatics interfaces by combining theoretical linguistics and experimental methods.
