My name is James Canne and I’m from a small town in the American Midwest. I did a Licence in English literature with a linguistics minor at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle and an MA in linguistics at University College London. As far back as I can remember I’ve had an interest in how language works. It wasn’t until I was studying in France that I realized how intricate the puzzles could be. I switched to linguistics for my MA and haven’t looked back since.
My primary focus is the internal structure of the verb phrase. This includes research into particle verbs, transitivity, and resultative constructions.
