About

I’m a linguistics phd student and a teaching assistant at the Center for Cognitive Science of Language at the University of Nova Gorica.

Currently I am a visiting scholar at the University of Connecticut.

I got my BA and MA in Italian language and literature and Russian studies at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

My main research interests are in generative syntax and language acquisition. I am mainly working on Slavic clitics. I am a part of the project The behavior of Czech and Slovene clitics at CKZJ.

I am also a founder of Grammelot – an online language school, where I teach Italian, Russian and Slovene languages. You are very welcome to join any of the classes!

When I am not researching or teaching, I enjoy playing squash, running an occasional halfmarathon, hiking in the mountains (as probably most of the Slovenians) and watch the NBA in the early morning hours (Luka77). I struggle with the X-box thingy, but firmly believe that perseverance and good will is the key for everything .
