I'm a fifth year PhD student at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I work on prosody and prosodic interfaces, mostly in Austronesian languages. I'm broadly interested in phrasal prosody, word level stress, and segmental and suprasegmental correlates of prosodic constituency. More about what I'm working on can be found under Projects, or by emailing me: afarinella@umass.edu
