Research Interests
My research interests primarily center on the role of (1) psycholinguistic realities of processing, planning, and cognitive loads, (2) phonetic biases in articulation, perception and psychoacoustics, in (3) phonological behaviors (e.g., variation, sound change). Currently, I am working on multiple projects with Kie Zuraw, Jesse Harris, Megha Sundara, Yao Yao (PolyU HK), and Alexandra Pfiffner (UGA).
Current Projects
- Retrieval versus planning costs: The source of variation in the production of phonological variation
- Variation in phonological rule application: The role of production planning
- Speech planning induced lengthening and strengthening: Comparison to prosodic boundaries
- Feature retrieval as repair of ungrammaticality: Decaying agreement attraction in English
- Sensitivity to tonal information in Mandarin lexical access: Evidence from corpus study and eye tracking
- The nasalization of word-final voiced stops in Serudung Murut, funded by the Ladefoged Scholarship.
