I study the knowledge that people have of the sound system of their language, that is, of its phonology, and how that knowledge is acquired. The models of knowledge and learning that I work with have roots in linguistics, cognitive psychology, and machine learning. I am also interested in the range of variation across the phonologies of the world’s languages, and my students and I have begun to explore how agent-based iterated learning models can help us to better understand the shape of language typology.
