Eleanor Glewwe

Research Interests

My research interests lie in phonology and phonology’s interfaces with phonetics and morphology. I pursue my research questions through experimentation, corpus studies, and elicitation with native speaker consultants. My specific interests include:

• Synchronic biases in phonological learning
• Tonal adaptation in loanword phonology
• Lexically conditioned phonetic variation
• Tone and reduplication in Efik
• Segmental phonology of Logoori (Maragoli)
