Sessional Lecturer at UVicGloria Mellesmoen
I am a phonologist (and occasional phonetician) with an interest in non-concatenative morphology and syllable structure. My dissertation focuses on reduplication (link: http://hdl.handle.net/2429/90736). I am particularly 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.
