DFG-project ''The VP-periphery in Mabia languages''

Current position: Postdoc (50%), since October 2021

The overarching goal of the project is to investigate the VP-periphery of the Mabia languages, especially the syntax and semantics of the particles in this domain in interaction with other aspects of the verbal morphology. The project has three main research areas: the function and interpretation of the VP-peripheral particles, the syntax of the VP-periphery, in-situ focus.
