Phonology, morphology, syntax, metrics, language variation. I currently work on maxent typologies with
Giorgio Magri, on English sentence prosody with
William Clapp and
Naomi Shapiro, on automatic metrical scansion with
Ryan Heuser and
Paul Kiparsky, on Dagaare phonology and morphology with
Adams Bodomo, and on Finnish word prosody and morphophonology, a permanent interest of mine.
