Overview
Milena Šereikaitė is a theoretical linguist specializing in syntax and morphology. She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020 and has since held postdoctoral positions at Yale and Princeton, where she also taught a range of linguistics courses. Her research focuses on two core questions: (i) the structure and nature of the extended verbal projection (such as Voice), and (ii) the division of labor among the lexicon, syntax, and post-syntax. She explores these issues through the study of passive and active Voice constructions, impersonal pronouns, case, agreement, gender, and related phenomena. Her work draws on data from the Baltic languages and original fieldwork on Ndebele, an understudied Bantu language.
