Research Topic A

Abstract of the proposed UNIPhD research project

In Romance languages, the reflexive pronoun (“si/se”) has different meanings and functions. I will investigate how those different instances developed, can be implemented in theoretic models and I will test them for their processing speed/cost. My research will thus integrate a historical, theoretical and experimental approach.
