The Phonetics Laboratory
Dr. Nina Topintzi is Assistant Professor in
Phonology at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics of the School
of English, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. She holds a BA in Greek
Philology from the University of Crete, and an MA and a PhD in Linguistics from
University College London. A revised version of her doctoral thesis was
published by Cambridge University Press in 2010 with the title Onsets:
Suprasegmental and Prosodic Behaviour. She has taught in Greece and abroad (UCL,
AUTH, University of Patras, TEI of Patras, University of the Aegean) courses in
phonology, phonetics, typology and the phonology-morphology interface. In 2011
she was a visiting scholar at MIT and then a Humboldt Fellow at the University
of Leipzig (2011-2012). During 2012-2014, she held an Assistant Professorship at
the University of Leipzig. She mainly conducts research in the area of phonology
and phonological typology (syllable structure, stress, geminates, metrics,
segmental phonology). Beyond that, she works in the the phonetics-phonology and
the phonology-morphology interfaces. Her experimental work focuses on Greek and
its dialects (acoustics of vowel deletion, glide realization and their
theoretical analysis), and recently, on artificial language learning. She has
published in international journals (Natural Language & Linguistic Theory,
Phonology, Glossa, Journal of Greek Linguistics), edited volumes (e.g. The
Blackwell Companion to Phonology) and conference proceedings. She has
participated in various research projects in Greece and abroad (Brazil,
Germany).
