Research | Current
- Segmental phonology
- Suprasegmental phonology
- Word-formation processes
- Nominal and verbal inflection
My research explores aspects of both segmental and suprasegmental Spanish sound structure as well as aspects of Spanish word structure. My publications are on topics such as assimilation, labialisation, and velarisation of nasal stops; nasal-stop inventories; quantity sensitivity and primary stress assignment; spirantisation of voiced stops; obstruent vocalisation; sonorant syllabisation; lexical blending; truncation; language games; and grammatical categories.
Postgraduate supervision
I have supervised numerous postgraduate students (BA Honours, MA, and PhD) working on a variety of topics in Spanish phonology and morphology and I welcome new proposals from students interested in any topic in these areas of Spanish linguistics.
