2020 Conditions on the variable interpretation of |U| in Japanese Variation in phonology, Szigetvári, Péter (ed.), pp. 84–101 | Article

It shows that, by analysing a specific case of segmental variation, we not only deepen our understanding of the sound which varies but also shed light on some general characteristics of the sound system as a whole.… read more
2017 The relative salience of consonant nasality and true obstruent voicing Sonic Signatures: Studies dedicated to John Harris, Lindsey, Geoff and Andrew Nevins (eds.), pp. 145–162 | Chapter

In contrast to traditional feature theories, these arguments attempt to capture the nasality-voicing correlation by claiming… read more

In syntax, on the other hand, heads have a different function: syntactic heads, like phonological heads, have an important… read more
