Hi. I'm a linguist at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I study linguistic things like phonology, Optimality Theory and other constraint-based grammars, phonological acquisition, language learnability, phonological experimentation, and other things that seem interesting. Teaching this semester (Winter 2010) LING 101 Intro to Linguistic Analysis (TR 3:30-4:50pm; Tory2-99) LING 420 Phonological Acquisition (TR 11am-12:20pm; CAB 235) Office hours will be Wednesday 2-4pm, and by appointment. On being a linguistics grad student links assembled for a UofA course, but perhaps of use to others Linguistics at UofA LING Research Participation Sign-up Database for 100-level students Ling Colloq Schedule viewable month-by-month including titles and abstracts Contact People for undergrad/grad advising, and all else What I'm trying to work on these days * lexical exceptions, variation and trends in children's developing phonologies [project] [with Michael Becker at Harvard] * aspects of early child L2 phonological acquisition [with Tamara Sorenson Duncan and Johanne Paradis at UofA] * learning consequences of different constraint-based grammars (e.g. those with ranks vs. weights) [project] [with Karen Jesney and others, including Joe Pater, at UMass Amherst] * learning process-based morpho-phonology in the lab and connections to typological frequency [with John Alderete in the Phonology and Cognition Lab at Simon Fraser, and Sarah Cust, Kyla Coole and many other RAs at UofA] * consonant harmony, similarity, and modeling/predicting/inducing speech errors [previously with Marnie Krauss and Dorie Erickson at UofA] For more on any of this see the links on the left, or feel free to email me (see the header.) |
