Author Biography

Ksenia Bogomolets, Professional Teaching Fellow, School of Cultures, Languages, and Linguistics, University of Auckland,Harry van der Hulst, Professor, Department of Linguistics, University of Connecticut

Ksenia Bogomolets is Professional Teaching Fellow at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. She specializes in phonology and morphology, with a particular focus on the phonology of stress in polysynthetic languages. She is especially interested in theoretical issues pertaining to morpho-phonology of Algonquian languages, but she has also investigated stress and its interactions with morphology in unrelated highly synthetic languages such as Nez Perce, Ichishkiin Sinwit, and Choguita Rarámuri. On the empirical side, she has a keen interest in documentation of understudied and endangered languages.

Harry van der Hulst is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Connecticut. His research interests include stress, syllabic structure, segmental structure, sign language, gesture, language evolution, and phonological acquisition, and he is both Editor-in-Chief of The Linguistic Review and co-editor of Mouton de Gruyter's series 'Studies in Generative Grammar'. His many books include Asymmetries in Vowel Harmony(OUP, 2018), Radical CV Phonology: A Theory of Segmental and Syllabic Structure (Edinburgh University Press, 2020), and The Oxford History of Phonology (co-edited with B. Elan Dresher; OUP, 2022).
