Variable stress patterns in English: Inter-individual differences and the nature of the morphology-phonology interface
Prof. Dr. Sabine Arndt-Lappe and Tammy Ganster, M.A.
Timeline: since 2019
The project systematically investigates inter-individual variation in stress position both in language production and perception. On a theoretical level, we will use our findings to develop a more adequate model of morpho-phonological competence, which crucially takes into account the role of previous linguistic experience.
