Words are complex objects, and knowledge of a language requires unconscious knowledge of procedures for combining sequences of sounds (phonology) and units of meaning (morphology). I pursue the empirical foundations of this knowledge. My research is informed by best practices in quantitative analysis and draws on evidence from computational models, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and speech corpora.
