Hi!  My name is Nico(letta). I am a Adjunct Professor of Linguistics at UCLA.
I got my PhD from the UCLA linguistics department with a dissertation on superlative phrases in Romance languages. 
Main research interests:

• syntax/semantics interface
• degree constructions, predicative structures, relative clauses.

Current research:

• Connectivity in specificational copular sentences
• The composition of modal superlatives in English and Romance
• DP-internal vs. sentential predication

Upcoming presentations:
Going Romance 2019 @ University of Leiden (11/28/2019) and LSA 2020 in New Orleans (01/05/2020) 
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.
