I am an associate professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I am interested in how language is represented and processed; in particular, I seek cases in which the processing of a linguistic unit is affected by the phonetic, phonological, or prosodic context in which that unit occurs. This theme unifies my work on segmental perception, lexical bias effects, cues to prosodic structure, sonority sequencing and vowel alternations in Polish, and, more recently, semantic representation and processing.
