received
her
Ph.D.
from
the
Department
of
Linguistics,
University
of
Cambridge and
has held research and teaching
appointments at the University
of Cambridge, the University
of
Oxford, the University
of
Edinburgh, King's
College London and the University
of
Cyprus. Prof.
Arvaniti is one of the pioneers of Laboratory Phonology which uses
behavioral research to test linguistic models of sound structure. Her
research, which has been widely published and cited, has
yielded crucial insights into the production, perception and linguistic
structure of intonation. Her work on speech rhythm has challenged
traditional views on the nature of rhythm and rhythmic typology. A
large part of her research has contributed significantly to our
knowledge on Greek phonetics and phonology and to several areas of
Greek dialectology and sociolinguistic variation. Prof. Arvaniti's
research has been supported by grants from the UK's Economic and
Social Research Council, the European
Science Foundation and the Worldwide
University
Network, as well
as University of Cyprus and
UCSD intra-mural funds. She serves on the editorial board of the Journal
of Phonetics, Phonology and the Journal
of Greek Linguistics and
regularly reviews submissions for
over 40 international journals in linguistics and cognitive science,
book editors, funding agencies and confererences. Prof. Arvaniti was
recently elected to the Council of the International
Phonetic Association.
