Gloria Mellesmoen
PhD Candidate at UBC LinguisticsI am a phonetician and phonologist with an interest in non-concatenative morphology, reduplication, and phonological structure. I am interested in sub-phonemic structure (phonetics-phonology interface) and allomorphy.
I conduct fieldwork on Salish languages and I also study topics related to the semantics of non-concatenative morphology (form-function relationship). I ask questions related to language variation and change in smaller speech communities.
