Winter semester 2020
Morphology | Ling348 (undergraduate course, in collaboration with Prof. D. Papadopoulou)
Course summary: In this course, we focus on the grammatical properties of the notion word. More specifically, we explore the basic principles and methods of morphological analysis with emphasis on the experimental methods of lexical processing. We also investigate the structure of the Mental Lexicon, the difference between inflectional and derivational processes and how these are mentally represented. The course concludes with a crosslinguistic review of the basic typological properties of words and word formation processes. [Link here]
Phonetics – Phonology | Ling396 (undergraduate course)
Course summary: This course offers an introduction to the sound system of languages. Phonological alternations, metrical and prosodic characteristics of words and phrases as well as language-particular and universal generalizations are all explored from the perspective of generative grammar. Besides introducing the basic tenets of Generative Phonology, the course also aspires at helping students develop their critical thinking and analytic skills so that they will gradually be led to a better understanding of how the sound system of the human language is structured.

Course summary: In this course, the students can explore various phonological phenomena from the perspective of Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky 1993) and write a qualifying paper on a topic of their interest. [Link here]
Spring semester 2021
Topics on Phonological Theory | Ling378 (undergraduate course)
Course summary: This advanced phonology course aims at providing a comprehensive description of the phonology of Standard Modern Greek. The main goals of this course are: (a) to present a wide-range of novel data from Greek covering some problematic aspects of the phonology of the language (i.e., demotic vs. archaic phonotactics, the status of glide /j/, semi-phonological instances of allomorphy), (b) to shed light on the nature of phonological representations, and (c) to acquaint the students with cutting-edge phonological theories.

Topics on Phonology | TAL803 (graduate course)
Course summary: In this course, we explore aspects of the phonology-morphosyntax interface. The discussion will focus on: (a) Prosodic Phonology: The Syllable and the Foot, (b) The Phonological Word (words, clitics, compounds, complex expressions), (c) The Phonological Phrase, and (d) Stress assignment at the interface (e.g. lexical accent systems, etc.).
