Advancing Analogical Theory in Morphology (AdvAnTheMorph)

 

Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)

Funding period: April 2025 – March 2028

 

AdvAnTheMorph is working at the interface of morphology, phonetics, and psycholinguistics. We will study how speakers form new words, how exactly they pronounce them, and what this tells us about how language is processed in the minds of speakers. We will study phenomena in two languages: English and Dutch. The project will involve psycholinguistic experiments, the analysis of audio data from corpora of authentic conversational speech, and computational modelling.
