About

I am a morpologist, typologist and corpus linguist. I got my PhD in linguistics in Leipzig and I am currently working as a computational morphologist at the Université de Paris. My dissertation was on formalizing analogy in an HPSG/CxG framework, while providing a solid computational implementation for it. In addition to quantitative morphology, I also work on HPSG and computational typology. My current project is on rivalry in morphology. You can find my CV here. You can write me at: mguzmann89 [at] g m a i l (.) c o m

Present projects

I am currently working in the LabEX Efl My research interests include: quantitative morphology, analogy and computational typology.
