## Papers

1. **[Voice at the Interfaces: The Syntax, Semantics, and Morphology of the Hebrew Verb](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/langsci-b271-kastner-voice-at-interfaces/)** *(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).
2. **[Reflexive verbs in Hebrew: Deep unaccusativity meets lexical semantics](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/lingbulk-2017-kastner-reflexive-verbs-hebrew-deep-unaccusativity/)** *(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.
