Education and research

Broselow received her PhD in linguistics from the Department of Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1976, with a dissertation entitled The Phonology of Egyptian Arabic . [2] She held a number of academic positions in linguistics before joining the faculty of SUNY-Stony Brook in 1983.

Broselow's research has focused on what sorts of mistakes second language learners make in perception and production in phonology, as well as loanword adaptation. [3] She has authored a number of widely cited articles on phenomena such as syllable structure, stress-epenthesis interactions, and syllable weight. Her work is known for combining experimental methods and theoretical models in order to formulate novel research hypotheses. [4]

Honors and service

She is a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America, [5] and is a former (1989-2002) associate editor of the journal Natural Language and Linguistic Theory . [6]

She was a long time member of the Linguistic Society of America's COGEL (formerly COSWL) committee. [7]

Phonology is the branch of linguistics that studies how languages systematically organize their phones or, for sign languages, their constituent parts of signs. The term can also refer specifically to the sound or sign system of a particular language variety. At one time, the study of phonology related only to the study of the systems of phonemes in spoken languages, but may now relate to any linguistic analysis either:
