Bartosz Wiland

I am a linguist interested in comparative syntax and morphology (especially of Slavic languages) and in Nanosyntax. I work as an associate professor at the Faculty of English at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, PL.

prospective MA & PhD students

I’ll be happy to help you with an MA or PhD project (both full time or extramural) in any area of syntax and morphology (general, English, Polish, comparative Slavic, theoretical, etc.). I will be especially eager to help you with a project on Nanosyntax. Contact me if you are interested (or you wonder why you should be)!
