Recent Workshop: Syntax and Prosody in the Northest (SPINE). Cornell Linguistics. May 5 2007



Research:

I am a phonologist, and mostly interested in prosody and whatever enters its computation, be it phonology, syntax, morphology, or semantics. I am also interested in the relation between phonology/morphology, opacity in phonology, and the structure of the mental lexicon. [CV]
