Biography

Giuseppina Silvestri is a Continuing Lecturer in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Los Angeles. She received her Ph.D. in 2013 from the University of Pisa.

Her work also addresses theoretical syntax from a parametric perspective, glotto-genetics, and the intersection of phonology and syntax, particularly issues related to the phonology-syntax interface, such as RF, propagation, and metaphony.
