Andras Barany is a Post-doctoral Researcher at SOAS, University of London. His PhD from the University of Cambridge explored the relationship between case and agreement in Hungarian and from a comparative perspective. His research interests include morphosyntactic phenomena across languages, such as possession, switch-reference, and differential argument marking, as well as Uralic and Turkic languages. He is the author of the OUP volume Person, Case, and Agreement: The Morphosyntax of Inverse Agreement and Global Case Splits (2017).

His research interests include theoretical morphosyntax, typology, and language documentation and description. His work has appeared in journals such as Journal of Linguistics and Linguistic Typology, and he is the co-editor, with Greville G. Corbett, Marina Chumakina, and Dunstan Brown, of Archi: Complexities of Agreement in Cross-Theoretical Perspective (OUP, 2016).
