Professor Bjorkman arrived at Queen鈥檚 in 2015. Prior to her arrival, she was a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. Her main research focus is on the morphology, syntax, and semantics of tense and aspect, particularly expressions of anteriority (past, perfect, and perfective) and their representations in terms of syntactic features. In the domain of syntax, she is more broadly interested in questions of how information is represented and manipulated in terms of syntactic features. She has also worked on topics in morphophonology, especially the morphological conditioning of processes such as stress assignment and reduplication, and on the syntax and semantics of coordination, especially asymmetric coordination.
