My research interests lie primarily in phonetics and phonology, particularly in applications of the theory of Articulatory Phonology to Spanish and other romance languages. I also have interests in synchronic and diachronic language change, especially phonological change.
My current research examines the phenomenon of postaspirated (long VOT) stops in Western Andalusian Spanish, and its relation to coupling dynamics in Articulatory Phonology. I am also working on a project examining the articulatory control of stops in Spanish with the intent of examining the voiced/voiceless distinction, which has long been a matter of debate.
