Anabelle Caso
Second year PhD student

Anabelle Caso (she/they) is a graduate student in the Department of Linguistics conducting research on the interactions between syntactic representations and phonological structure. She is primarily interested in syntax-prosody mapping issues within Indo-Iranian languages and across finite corpora. Her most recent project concerns the prosodic isolation of secondary predicates encoded in ancient metrical texts, and the correspondence between clause-like structures and boundaries high on the prosodic hierarchy. This work was most recently presented at the University of Pennsylvania Linguistics Conference 2023 (PLC-47). Previously, she has conducted research on distinctions between prosodically and syntactically driven clitic behavior in Vedic Sanskrit, Hittite, and Old Avestan.
