Welcome to my blog page! I’m a PhD student of General Linguistics at the Institute of Linguistics within the Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf. Phonetics, Phonology and Psycholinguistics are my dominant areas of interest. Recently, I have also taken interest in Morphology and Computational linguistics.
I investigate how phonetics, phonology and morphophonology are learned, as well as how these domains interact with eachother. I approach these 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 understand better how children and adults learn the sounds of their language(s), why some aspects are harder to learn than others, and what representations are formed. I believe answering these questions can help us understand many puzzlinge phenomena within linguistics.
