Uduma is a first year PhD student in linguistics. He is interested in experimental syntax and its interfaces with morphology and semantics. He has already researched on the cross-linguistic variations of various kinds of ellipsis in English and Igbo (his native language) through the Minimalist lens of Jason Merchant's E-Feature/E-Givenness theory of ellipsis licensing. His future inquiry, amongst others, will include a preliminary investigation into the availability of different ellipsis kinds across the Niger-Congo group of languages. Uduma is a distinguished fellow of the prestigious Neubauer Family Foundation Fellowship of the University of Chicago. He holds a B.A. (English/Literature) and an MA (English Language) from Abia State University, Uturu, Nigeria and the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria respectively. Feel free to reach out.
