Education
Ph.D. in Linguistics, Ohio State University, 1991
Research Interests
The relationship between speech actions and linguistic structure. I am particularly interested in how speech actions are organized into fluent utterances, how this organization is governed by the prosodic conventions of a particular language, and how this organization indicates the relationship of the utterance to the surrounding discourse. I also have more general interests in the role of speech production and perception in the formation of linguistic conventions.
