My current research involves analyzing Turkish ellipsis cases from a semantic perspective following up on my MA thesis, which focused on object gaps in Turkish, analyzing whether they represent instances of Verb-stranding Verb Phrase Ellipsis (VS-VPE) or Argument Ellipsis (AE). I am particularly interested in how focus, intonation, and case interact in Turkic languages.
