About

I am a graduate student in linguistics (aka research fellow) at CASTL, University of Tromsø.

My research interests include theoretical phonology, particularly Optimality Theory, theory of phonological representations, phonetics-phonology interface, phonology-morphology interface, loanword phonology, Slavic phonology, Slovenian phonology and phonetics, and acoustic phonetics.

You can take a look at my Publications page or my CV.

Upcoming Talks

On December 1, 2007, I will present Consonants and Vowels in Slovenian and Serbian: Phonetic similarities, (morpho)phonological differences and vice versa (with Bruce Morén) at the Workshop on Slavic Phonology, which is a part of the 7th European Conference on Formal Description of Slavic Languages (FDSL-7) in Leipzig.

Sometime between November 30 and December 2 I will present Interactions of Tone and ATR in Slovenian (with Michael Becker) at the 7th European Conference on Formal Description of Slavic Languages (FDSL-7) in Leipzig.
