معرفی
Dr Helen Sims-Williams is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Surrey's Surrey Morphology Group (SMG). Her work focuses on morphological change, computational linguistics, and historical linguistics, particularly in Greek and Classical Tibetan. She holds a BA from University College London (UCL), an MPhil, and a DPhil from the University of Oxford.
Research Interests:
- Investigating how language structure evolves through quantitative and computational methods
- Morphological change mechanisms and their implications for language processing
- Modelling morphological systems using statistical and experimental approaches
Current Project: The Leverhulme Trust-funded 'Predicting Language Evolution' project develops statistical models of morphological change.
Publications: Recent work includes studies on Tibetan verbal paradigms, analogical processes in inflection, and the role of frequency in linguistic structure evolution. Her research bridges theoretical linguistics with computational analysis.
Lab Affiliation: Active member of the Surrey Morphology Group, contributing to projects like the Paralex lexicon standard and the Loss of Inflection Database.
