Hello!

I am a PhD student at Universitat Pompeu Fabra under the co-supervision of Laia Mayol and Josep Quer. I am interested in the field of semantics and pragmatics and their interfaces with syntax in Romance languages. My main research deals with verbal mood and its relation to commitments. I also work on obviation, exclamatives, and verum.

You can reach me at name.surname@upf.edu by replacing name and surname with my name and surname.

My surname is pronounced [buxt͡ʃɨk].
