My name is Satoru Ozaki (/oꜜzaki satoɾɯ/). I am a PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at UMass Amherst.
Before that, I graduated from the Master of Language Technologies (MLT) program in the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. My advisor was Prof. Eric Nyberg. I also worked extensively with Prof. Lori Levin.
My interests are:
- Theoretical linguistics
- Syntax/semantics (esp. VP Ellipsis, binding and degree expressions)
- Constraint-based grammars
- Computational linguistics
- Parsing
- Formal grammars (esp. comparing Minimalist Grammars with mainstream generative grammar)
I write about theoretical/computational linguistics on this website.
