Tamás Halm

I am a Research Fellow at the Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics. I joined in March 2017 and I am currently a member of the "Implications of endangered Uralic languages for syntactic theory and the history of Hungarian" research group (Grant 129921 of the National Research Fund of Hungary). My research interests are in (synchronic and diachronic) syntax and semantics, especially dependent indefinites, imperatives, argument structure, voice and the fine structure of the minimal VP.  I have worked on free-choice items, weak imperatives, semelfactives, middle voice and on truncated clauses (minimal VPs). Since 2019, I am review editor of Acta Linguistica Academica.  Also since 2019, I am an assistant professor (lecturer) at Pázmány Péter Catholic University. And I am a proud (if not very useful) member of the Hungarian Academy Staff Forum. Before fully embracing my true calling as a linguist, I worked in risk management (retail banking) from 2007 to 2017.
