Background
My research interests are phonological typology, language change, and core phonology. I am particularly interested in inferring autossegmental structures and elements through the study of phonological stability and implicational universals. For my Ph.D., I am looking into the formation of creole languages in order to explore which phonological segments/features are more (un)stable and what motivates these patterns.
