Maria Gouskova
is Professor of Linguistics at New York University. Her research is on phonology, morphology, and their interface, with a particular interest in patterned exceptions and minor rules: their grammatical analysis, the extent to which these rules are productive, and how speakers learn the rules. The learnability of lexical subpatterns interacts with other phonological and morphological learning problems, so a related area of interest is in modeling the various kinds of phonological learning, both theoretically and computationally.
