Carmen Saldana

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Comparative Language Science at the University of Zurich, where I teach and research the cognitive constraints that shape language structure using a variety of corpus and experimental methods. In particular, I investigate the impact of individual learning biases on cross-linguistic regularities in morphological paradigms and morpheme order.
