The Morphosyntax-Phonology Connection Locality and Directionality at the Interface

Vera Gribanova is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Stanford University. Her research explores the principles that connect word and sentence structure to (morpho-)phonological structure, primarily in Russian, Bulgarian and Uzbek.

Stephanie S. Shih is an Assistant Professor in Cognitive & Information Sciences at University of California, Merced. Her research centers on understanding how sound patterns interface with the larger linguistic and cognitive system, as informed by quantitative, corpus-based approaches to the study of natural language.
