About
Ksenia holds a dual Ph.D. in Linguistics and East European Languages and Cultures from Indiana University. An adherent of the generative tradition, she is interested in the syntax of human language. She works on quantification, the interaction of interfaces, interrogatives, and information structure, drawing primarily from Slavic data.
Dr Zanon welcomes inquiries from potential MPhil and PhD students with research interests relevant to her interests.
