Welcome to my blog page! I’m a PhD student of General Linguistics at the Institute of Linguistics within the Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf. My fields of interest are Phonetics, Phonology and Psycholinguistics. I have recently also taken interest in Morphology and Computational linguistics.
I investigate learning within phonetics, phonology and morphophonology, as well as how these domains interact with eachother. I approach language from a discriminative error-driven learning perspective. For my PhD-project, I investigate the learning mechanisms behind phonetic category acquisition (phonetics), sound pattern acquisition (phonology) and form-meaning associations (morphophonology). I use both computational and experimental methods to answer my questions.
By investigating the mechanisms behind language learning, I hope to better understand how children and adults learn the sounds of their language(s), why some linguistic properties are harder to learn than others, and what representations emerge during learning.
