Since 2010, I have conducted experimental research exploring phonetic influences on subjective grouping biases among native speakers of English, Spanish and Zapotec who are tasked with segmenting rhythmically organized speech sequences. I am now developing a new research program to study the relationship between markedness and the “ease of learning” of non-native stress patterns in adults. • Before 2010: Theoretical phonology, Optimality Theory. My research contributed to studies of language prosody patterns, particularly in the areas of syllable structure, phonological stress and stress typology, and prosodic morphology. Some of my work in Optimality Theory made proposals regarding the formal nature of phonological constraints.
