Research Interests

My research addresses questions concerning the processing and production of speech and how such processes can not only shape the phonological system of a language, but constrained by it. My work has primarily focused on questions related to language variation and change, with special attention to the mechanisms underlying individual differences at the phonetic and phonological levels. Topics I have investigated include the perception and production of coarticulation, the perception-production link, and phonetic convergence/imitation, among others. I tackle these questions with a wide range of methodologies, including linguistic fieldwork and traditional phonetic/laboratory phonology methods ranging from acoustical and aerodynamic investigations to more recently developed approaches such as sociophonetic, eye-tracking, and neurophysiological techniques.
