Phonology

<This is dummy placeholder text>

In our work on phonology, we have approached sound systems not as collections of arbitrary patterns, but as tightly constrained cognitive systems shaped by both universal principles and language-specific choices. We have been interested in how abstract representations interact with surface variation, and in how phonological patterns reveal the architecture of the human mind. Languages such as Malayalam have played a central role in this inquiry, allowing us to test theoretical claims against rich empirical detail. For us, phonology is not merely about sounds; it is about explanation—about discovering why certain sound patterns are possible, others impossible, and how speakers internalize this knowledge with remarkable consistency.
