Welcome

I am a linguist. I examine the ways in which phonological representations are built. I investigate this issue from the perspective of natural language/probabilistic grammars, as well as from the perspective of language variation, language contact, and language acquisition. I also investigate the relationship between phonetic and morphosyntactic data and phonological representations. In my work, I use experimental data as well as corpus data. My research focuses mostly on Romance languages, especially Brazilian Portuguese, Brazilian Veneto (Talian) and French, as well as on English.

I am currently a lecturer in the École de langues at Université Laval, in Québec City, Canada. My PhD is from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS, Brazil).
