Since my 1989 dissertation I have focused on the ways in which morphology conditions phonology; in recent years this has led to an exploration of cophonologies, or phonological grammars associated with individual morphological constructions. This interest, applied to reduplication, led to my 2005 book, with Cheryl Zoll, called Reduplication: Doubling in Morphology, published by Cambridge University Press. Within morphology proper, I have pursued issues of affix ordering and (in ongoing collaboration with Teresa McFarland, David Mortensen and Anne Pycha) the question of multiple exponence in morphology. An independent line of research in recent years has been child phonology, as reflected in my 2003 article 'J's rhymes' in Journal of Child Language and in ongoing collaboration with Yvan Rose. I have also been collaborating with Prof. Kemal Oflazer, of Sabanci University in Istanbul, on computational tools for the analysis of Turkish, building in part on my earlier NSF-funded TELL (Turkish Electronic Living Lexicon) database.
