Investigates the impact of sound structure on speech production processes in languages that have been ignored in language production research, including Fijian (Austronesian) and Tashlhiyt Berber (Afro-asiatic).
Creating algorithms that can learn real life phonological systems, both at the macro-structure level of OT grammars and the micro-structure level of artificial neural networks.
