Joshua Booth is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford’s Language Brain Laboratory. He specializes in theoretical phonology, with a focus on Germanic phonology and the historical development of Germanic languages. His DPhil thesis, titled 'Prosody and the Manuscript Evidence of the Syllable, Foot, and Word-Prosodic Structures in Medieval German Grammar', investigates the evolution of phonological systems from the medieval to the modern period, particularly exploring questions of prosodic structure like quantity and foot structure of lexical stress. His research interests extend to experimental psycholinguistics, emphasizing the processing of phonological representations and the complexities of morphology. He employs a range of methodologies to explore how historical language stages interact with contemporary linguistic structures, and is currently investigating prosodic representation of simple clitics in Middle High German.
