This paper establishes that unbounded circumambient processes, phonological processes
for which crucial information in the environment may appear unboundedly far away on both …

We develop a novel optimization approach to tone. Its grammatical component consists of
the similarity-and proximity-based correspondence constraint framework of Agreement by …

This dissertation provides support for the hypothesis that surface well-formedness in
phonological tone patterns is governed by language-specific, local constraints over …

This paper introduces subfeatural representations to capture subphonemic distinctions at
work in 'subphonemic teamwork'. The unusual case of Laal is presented, in which rounding …

Using Q Theory, in which canonical segments are represented as a sequence of three
subsegments, this paper develops a scale of vowel quantity, ranging from'superlight'single v …

Beatrhyming is a type of multi-vocalism in which an individual beatboxes and speaks (ie,
sings or raps) at the same time by interweaving beatboxing sounds and speech sounds …

This paper examines a key difference between constraint conjunction and constraint weight
additivity, arguing that the two do not have the same empirical coverage. In particular …

Ghosts are phonological elements, whether consonants, vowels, features, or moras, that
surface or delete in phonologically predictable contexts. This alternation with zero means …

In this dissertation, I argue that phonology is at least partly grounded in phonetics, and that
the phonetic information that is relevant to phonology must be given dedicated scalar …

A computational notion of locality, based on forbidden substructures of a fixed size, is
applied to autosegmental representations, and tone-association patterns are argued to be …
