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 held postdoctoral positions at Yale and Princeton, where she also taught a range of linguistics courses. Her research focuses on two core questions: (i) what is the structure and nature of extended verbal projections, and (ii) what is the division of labor among the lexicon, syntax, and post-syntax? She explores these topics through the study of passive and active Voice constructions, impersonal pronouns, case, agreement, gender, and related phenomena. Her work draws on data from Baltic languages and original fieldwork on Ndebele, an understudied Bantu language.
