I'm Sam (he/him), a PhD candidate in Spanish linguistics at the University of Toronto. In my thesis, I explore a structure-driven approach to the interpretation of nominal and pronominal expressions in Spanish. My supervisor is María Cristina Cuervo, and my committee members are Arsalan Kahnemuyipour, Suzi Lima, and Ana Teresa Pérez-Leroux.

My broader interests include the morphosyntax and semantics of the noun phrase, particularly gender, number, and reference to kinds.

I am a research assistant for the SSHRC-funded project The Syntax of Nominal Linkers (PI: Arsalan Kahnemuyipour) and recently held a SSHRC-funded Canada Graduate Scholarship (2021–24).

Before coming to Toronto, I completed an MA in Linguistics and an MFA in Spanish Creative Writing at the University of Iowa and an AB in Hispanic Studies and Performance Studies at Brown University.
