at the Department of Linguistics, School of Arts and Humanities, Universidade de Lisboa.
Director of the Phonetics and Phonology Laboratory and of the Lisbon Baby Lab. My research
focuses on Prosody in language, comprising phrasing, intonation, and rhythm, and
using laboratory-based approaches. Prosody is a fascinating domain, as it
comprehends sub-syllabic units to sentence-level or even discourse-level units,
it interfaces with morphology and syntax, it is relevant to information
structure, language processing, or human interaction, and it plays a crucial
role in language acquisition. In my work, I study phrasal prosody and
intonation, seeking to understand the properties of prosodic systems, the extent
to which they vary across and within languages, and how they are acquired by
infants. I also study how prosodic cues may help bootstrapping the learning of
language, and may function as early markers of language
impairment.
I support LingOA - Linguistics in Open Access. Read more.
