Coetzee served on the editorial board member of Phonology [5] until 2018,and as Editor of Language (2017-22),the flagship journal of the Linguistic Society of America. [6] [7] He teaches both undergraduate and graduate students Phonology,as well as many introductory courses in Linguistics. He has overseen many undergraduate and graduate students as they work on their projects,whether it be an honors thesis or a dissertation. His own current research is focused on the time course of speech perception and production in individual language users. He is also working on a project with colleague Patrice Beddor,which focuses on the hypothesis that a language user's perception and production repertoires or grammars are complexly related in ways that are mediated by wide-ranging factors.
