Biography

Mary Baltazani is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Linguistics at the University of Oxford, specializing in Phonetics. She focuses on the interface between phonetics and phonology, with particular interests in intonation, pragmatics, Greek dialects, dialectology, and sociophonetics. Currently, she is leading the ESRC funded project 'Greek Contact,' which examines the impact of long-term language contact on intonational patterns among Greek varieties and their speakers. Additionally, she is a co-investigator in a BA funded project titled 'Components of Intonation Structure and Intonational Meaning,' which explores the compositionality of intonational meaning and how intonation contributes to utterance meaning holistically.
