My main research interests focus on prosody, approached from a Laboratory Phonology perspective. I have been working on timing and coarticulation, on the phonological and phonetic aspects of intonation, on prosody and discourse structure , on the prosody-syntax interface, on the prosodic disambiguation of potentially ambiguous semantic and syntactic structures, and on prosody and information structure.
I am interested in the articulatory bases of prominence, approaced from the viewpoint of Articulatory Phonology and Task Dynamics and, more recently, in non-native and second language speech perception and in the phonetic aspects of heritage languages.
