Stay at the University of Potsdam
During his stay at the University of Potsdam Rodrigo worked on the SFB-Project-C09 on the topic „Limits of variability in Spanish relative complementation“. His work on the CP-field focused on split sentences in Yucatecan Spanish and their corresponding relativizer (DET+que and simple que) as well as the influence of Yucatecan Mayan on relativization in Yucatecan Spanish, as has been discussed by Felipe Carrillo Puerto.
