Ph.D., Linguistics, Stanford University, 1989. She taught at UCLA and at the University of Maryland, College Park before coming to Berkeley in 1990 with a two-year Research Fellowship from the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science. Her dissertation, published in 1990, developed a theory of the interface between phonology (sound structure) and morphology (word structure), which she has recently extended to such diverse languages as Nimboran and Turkish. Her current research continues to center on the phonology-morphology interaction, focusing particularly on Turkish adn on cross-linguistic patterns of reduplication. She is director TELL (Turkish Electronic Living Lexicon), a project funded by the National Science Foundation to create a computerized database of the Lexicon of modern Turkish for use in phonological (and other) research.
