Profile Articles Activity

My name is Victoria-Elliot, or Elliot for short, and I am a formal linguist. A semanticist at my core, but I gleefully dip into morphology and syntax when the opportunity arises. I enjoy taking a creative and multi-faceted approach to puzzles in theoretical semantics. This means I am interested in evidence from experiments, natural language data, fieldwork, and theoretical work, when asking questions about the nature of the universal semantic frameworks in human language.

I am currently a PhD researcher in Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London. My project is funded by LISS DTP. I am investigating conditionals (if-sentences) with a particular focus on how these are expressed in British Sign Language using non-manual features (such as movement of the head and eyebrows). I am also interested in how numbers and nouns combine. This was the subject of my Master's Thesis, which I am currently preparing for publication. I designed an Artificial Language for this experiment.
