Biography

Ksenia Zanon holds dual Ph.D. degrees in Linguistics and East European Languages and Cultures from Indiana University. She adheres to the generative tradition and her research primarily focuses on syntax and its interaction with various interfaces in human language. Zanon's work explores quantification, interrogatives, and information structure, drawing primarily from Slavic data. Her dedication to the field of linguistics is evident through her teaching of Syntax and Slavonic languages, including Russian, as well as her explorations into Linguistic Theory and the history of Slavic languages. Zanon is open to inquiries regarding potential MPhil and PhD students whose research interests align with her own, particularly in the realm of comparative syntax and historical linguistics.
