Cumulative markedness effects and (non-)linearity in phonotactics
Glossa, 2022 How do grammars assess the well-formedness of words with multiple phonotactic violations? Certain models predict that as the strength of phonotactic restrictions decrease, forms that violate multiple restrictions should be less acceptable than expected ...

A recombinant effect in phonotactics. [PDF]
, 2023 In the present thesis, we present a novel phonological universal, which we name the XYZ effect. The effect in question is foremostly related to the phonotactic well-formedness of words and pseudo-words. In any specific language variety, the XYZ effect is

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.
