Research interests
My research interests lie mainly in the areas of morphology, phonology and the lexicon. I am particularly interested in questions like how the representation of phonological information at the lexical level affects the representation of morphological information. I have worked largely on the Germanic languages, but I have interests in language families that show apparently very different types of morphology such as the Semitic languages. Much of my work has been computational, but with a firm emphasis on theoretical linguistic questions.
