Biography
I work on inflectional morphology, in particular where its structure seems to take on a life of its own, independent of the meanings and functions it expresses. This research involves a combination of cross-linguistic surveys, fieldwork, diachronic reconstruction, and computational modelling. Current or recent projects include (ERC Synergy), (Leverhulme Trust), (Leverhulme Trust), (AHRC), and (AHRC).
Along with the publications page included here, see my and pages.
