Laura Stigliano

Laura Stigliano studies syntax (the rules governing sentence structure) with a focus on ellipsis, the phenomenon where parts of a sentence are grammatically present but left unpronounced (e.g., in Spanish and Hungarian). Her work combines formal theoretical analysis with experimental methods, such as testing how speakers interpret sentences with island effects (grammatical constraints on where certain elements can move) and elliptical constructions. Much of her research centers on Spanish and Hungarian, examining questions, relative clauses, and possessives.

Publication output rose from none in 2017-2019 to a peak of 3-4 papers per year between 2020-2022, then slowed to 0-2 papers per year in 2023-2025.
