Dr. Catalina Torres

Postdoctoral Researcher

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Distributional Linguistics Lab at the University of Zurich. In 2020, I completed my phonetics training at the University of Melbourne, Australia. My research deals with word and phrase level prosody in the field of prosodic typology. I'm particularly interested in how speakers chunk and highlight elements in the speech stream and how this interacts with other linguistic domains.
