Profil
As a postdoc in the project DIPVAR I work on the acoustics of vowel sequences in five Romance languages. Before coming to Paris, I was a PhD student in Munich and worked on the computational and cognitive modelling of sound changes. I am interested in all facets of sound change: its historical, phonological, and phonetic origins as well as the mechanisms by which a new variant of a sound spreads through a speech community. In my research I apply functional analyses, often on large-scale acoustic data, and computational modelling techniques to gain insights into specific sound changes. I do most of my programming and data processing in R, but I also use python and bash.
En tant que postdoctorante au sein du projet DIPVAR, je travaille sur l’acoustique des séquences vocaliques dans cinq langues romanes. Avant de venir à Paris, j’ai effectué un doctorat à Munich et travaillé sur la modélisation computationnelle et cognitive des changements sonores. Je m’intéresse à toutes les facettes de l’évolution sonore : ses origines historiques, phonologiques et phonétiques, ainsi que les mécanismes par lesquels une nouvelle variante d’un son se propage au sein d’une communauté linguistique. Dans mes recherches, j’applique des analyses fonctionnelles, souvent sur des données acoustiques à grande échelle, et des techniques de modélisation informatique pour mieux comprendre les changements sonores spécifiques. Je programme et traite principalement mes données en R, mais j’utilise également Python et Bash.
