Benjamin Storme

I am a lecturer in Linguistics at the University of Lausanne. I received a PhD in Linguistics from MIT. Before that, I studied Classics and Historical Linguistics at the ENS, where I received the Agrégation de grammaire, and at Sorbonne university, where I got my masters degree.

Before moving to Lausanne, I worked as a CNRS post-doc researcher on a project funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche and entitled "The mathematics of segmental phonotactics" (Principal Investigator: Giorgio Magri; results of this project can be found here).

My current research focuses on phonology and phonetics, and in particular on questions related to:

• the phonetic (perceptual/articulatory) motivation for sound patterns
• grammatical models of speaker's phonological/phonetic knowledge
• diachronic changes and the evolution of sound systems across time

• theories developed in formal linguistics (constraint-based grammars, in particular)
• experimental and corpus data
