Research
My research focuses on phonological theory, a study of the principles that
govern the patterning of sound in individual languages, as well as
cross-linguistically. I have worked in several areas of phonology and its
interfaces: on the moraic theory of syllable structure, the representation
of pitch accent, and both the phonology-morphology and the phonology-syntax
interfaces.
