Hi!  My name is Nico(letta). Currently, I am a lecturer of linguistics at UCLA. I recently completed my PhD at the UCLA linguistics department with a dissertation on superlative phrases in Romance languages. 

My interests:

• syntax/semantics interface
• degree constructions
• philosophy of language and metaphysics

Current research:

• The composition of modal superlatives in English and Romance
• The syntax and semantics of comparative and superlative constructions in Romance.

Past work:

• Copular constructions across languages. 
• Interaction between so-called "Individual-Level predicates" and past tense.
• perception verbs taking infinitival clauses or pseudorelative complements in Romance languages.
