Biography

Eric Baković's main research areas are phonological theory and computational phonology. He focuses on the study of linguistic speech sound patterns and structures, as well as the relation of these elements to various aspects of grammar. Phonological theorists are primarily concerned with the development and evaluation of formal and computational devices that can adequately describe phonological patterns and structures, aiming to provide maximum explanatory value for particular phonological analyses. His research is primarily focused on the types of generalizations that phonological patterns exhibit and how these interact, resulting in complex patterns of phonological behavior across languages.
