Enoch Aboh is a prominent linguist at the University of Amsterdam, focusing on Learnability in Human Languages with particular emphasis on theoretical syntax and comparative syntax. His research has delved into various linguistic comparisons, including Kwa with Germanic, Romance, Sinitic, and Caribbean creoles. Aboh's recent projects explore the intersection of language and cognitive processing in multilingual communities, and how code-switching influences language use in societies like Benin and Belize. With years of involvement in several NWO funded projects, he has examined various aspects of argument structure in sign languages and the grammatical features that distinguish spoken languages from sign languages. His work seeks to further the understanding of argument structure and the nature of functional categories in analytic languages across different linguistic families.
