Education

English Philology was a five-year degree providing comprehensive training in a range of areas, including English and American literature, general linguistics, translation and interpreting, and teacher training. An avid reader since a very young age, Moskovsky's keen interest in British and American literature was mainly what motivated him to take up this program. It was the linguistics classes, however, that thoroughly captivated his imagination, and his conversion to the formal study of human language was soon complete and irreversible. 

As part of the required research component in the final year of his undergraduate degree, Moskovsky produced an insightful research thesis involving a comparative analysis of Bulgarian and English reflexive pronouns. This study in part sparked his interest in anaphora and pronominal binding, which later became the focus of his doctoral dissertation. 

Moskovsky graduated in 1985, and in 1988/89 did a research masters in linguistics, again at Sofia University, producing a master's thesis on verb valency. 

Finally, in 1992, Moskovsky began a doctoral program in linguistics at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He graduated with flying colors in 1997.
