Hiromune Oda

Welcome to my website!

I am a lecturer at the Department of Language and Information Sciences at The University of Tokyo, Japan.

I received my B.A. and M.A. in English Linguistics from The University of Tokyo, Japan, and M.A. and Ph.D in Linguistics from University of Connecticut, USA.

My research interests lie in comparative syntax, generative typology, parameter theory, and the morphology-syntax-semantics interface.
