Márton Sóskuthy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia, where he directs the OoPS-Lab (Origins Patterns Speech Lab). His research emphasizes the emergence and maintenance of systematic patterns in speech, viewed broadly in terms of their relationships to communicative function, language use, and meaning, as well as how hand shapes and words form orderly configurations within sound systems. His work involves analyzing recurring patterns across languages and employs a combination of cross-linguistic diachronic data to address methodologically challenging questions. Specifically, he focuses on areas of computational modeling and statistical analysis, actively maintaining a research profile that includes applied statistics and particularly the modeling of non-linear trajectories.
