Cartography and Microparametric variation: Criterial V2 in Swiss Romansh varieties
Revista Linguística, 2019 In this article, I shall provide evidence for a theory of microparametric variation among Swiss Romansh varieties adopting a cartographic notion of parameter in terms of syntactic operations triggered by morphosyntactic features in functional projections.

Exploring morphosyntactic variation and change with Distributional Semantic Models
Journal of Historical Syntax, 2022 This paper surveys how computational distributional semantic models (DSMs) have thus far been employed to study morphosyntactic variation and change in Early Modern English. As a case study, this paper homes in on the development of the Early Modern English auxiliary do.
