I am a Professor of Linguistics, specializing in Phonology and Morphophonology, at the Department of Linguistics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (visit my departmental website here).

My primary research emphasis is on phonology and its interface with morphology and syntax. In my dissertation, I examined a group of lexical accent systems, namely Greek, Russian, and a few Salish languages, and proposed that stress in such systems is largely determined by morphosyntactic structure. I also have a profound interest in contact-induced systems and, especially, endangered varieties of Greek that have been in long-term contact with Turkish (e.g., Asia Minor Greek, (Ofitika) Pontic, etc.).

Currently, I am interested in exploring patterns of (stochastic) variation (in acquisition of stress, in the application of sandhi rules, in allomorphy) and their formal expression within the framework of Gradient Harmonic Grammar (Smolensky & Goldrick 2016).
