My research is divided practically evenly between linguistics and poetics. My published work in the former area has concerned the structure of modern Russian, as well as historical and comparative Slavic morphology. My poetics research includes structural analyses of the verse of Pasternak, Blok and Akhmatova. I have recently become involved in working out an adequate model for the description of Slavic declensional morphology, research recently published in The Journal of Slavic Linguistics ("An Automorphic Model of Paradigm Structure Structure. Toward a New Model of Russian Case Morphology") (1997) and in American Contributions to the Twelfth International Congress of Slavists ("The Automorphism of Slavic Declension in Synchronic and Diachronic Perspective") (1998).
