- (forthcoming) Tone-sensitive vowel lengthening in BCMS. In: Proceedings of CLS 59.
[]In this paper, I explore the synchrony and diachrony of a puzzling vowel lengthening pattern in Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian monosyllables, which is crucially sensitive to the underlying tone of the target vowel. This lengthening process has major implications for many important questions in phonological theory, including the necessity of locally conjoined constraints, the definition of compensatory lengthening, and the interaction between tone and prosodic structure.[Full text] - (2023) Towards a more comprehensive theory of tone-stress interaction. In: Suet-Ying Lam and Satoru Ozaki (eds.), Proceedings of NELS 53, vol. 2: 209-218.
[]This paper argues that no existing Optimality Theoretic approach to tone-stress interaction produces the full range of attested cross-linguistic variation. I argue for a hybrid constraint model, which combines the *Nonhead markedness constraints of de Lacy (2002) with the licensing constraints proposed by Breteler (2018). This hybrid model is shown to make more desirable typological predictions than its predecessors.[Full text] - (2021) Akustički korelati naglaska u kosovsko-resavskom dijalektu srpskog jezika.

[]Proto-Slavic *jìstъ ‘self, the same’ and Latvian ĩsts ‘real, true’ go back to Proto-Balto-Slavic *íʔsto-, which is argued to derive from the post-Proto-Indo-European pronominal collocation/univerbation *(H)id tod 'this very' (literally 'this that').[Full text] - (2019) Two etymological reexaminations (*ščěpjàti and *velìkъ/*velьkъ in Lekhitic).

[]Greek εἶναι ‘be, exist’ and γίγνεσθαι ‘become’ are both translated as Old Church Slavonic byti, which results in ambiguity in some cases.[Full text]
