Charles Redmon
Charlie was workins as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant working on our project called "Complexity in Derivational Morphology" in the Language and Brain Laboratory here at Oxford, and in collaboration with the University of Konstanz in Germany.
He was responsible for the design and execution of behavioural and neurolinguistic experiments on English, and the analysis and writeup of cross-linguistic patterns in word processing in English and German.
In addition to work on the grant, my research interests include investigating the acoustic and articulatory structure of the lexicon, and the organisation of perceptual and motor systems around the encoding of higher-order linguistic information in the acoustic signal.
I have started this work with English, but would also like to extend it to Korean, Malayalam, and other languages in distinct language families and regions of the world.
Currently Charlie is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex, working primarily at the intersection of phonetics, psycholinguistics, and computing, but also addressing questions in morphology, historical linguistics, and Germanic (thanks Aditi!). His research covers a variety of languages and language families, but his main focus is on the South Asian region. This work began during his Masters at EFLU in Hyderabad, and continues through active collaborations with researchers at Jadavpur University in Kolkata, IIT in Guwahati, and the North-Eastern Hill University in Shillong.
Research interests:
• Acoustic, phonological, and morphological processing • Models of lexical organization and encoding • Cross-linguistic analysis of speech systems • Complexity in language structure and development
