Research interests

My research focuses on analysing foreign-accented English speech, with a special interest in the intelligibility of the Spanish accent in English. I am also interested in applying dialectometric techniques to data, in order to find patterns in the distribution of phonetic variants of foreign accents. My research interests specifically include:


  • English phonetics and phonology
  • Foreign-accented speech
  • Dialectology
  • Dialectometry
  • Intelligibility
