- Voice at the Interfaces: The Syntax, Semantics, and Morphology of the Hebrew Verb (2020)
A book-length theory of the seven verbal templates (binyanim) of Modern Hebrew: XaYaZ (paʿal), niXYaZ (nifʿal), XiYeZ (piʿel), hitXaYeZ (hitpaʿel), heXYiZ (hifʿil) and the passives XuYaZ (puʿal) and huXYaZ (hufʿal). - Reflexive verbs in Hebrew: Deep unaccusativity meets lexical semantics (2017)
In Modern Hebrew, reflexive verbs use one of the seven verbal templates, hitXaYeZ, and the same template also carries anticausatives and reciprocals, which behave differently.
