Research summary

Andrea D. Sims studies the structure of word inflection (how words change form to mark grammatical features like tense or number) across languages including Spanish, French, Turkish, Russian, Maltese, and South Slavic languages. Their work combines linguistic theory with computational modeling to understand phenomena such as irregular or missing word forms (defectiveness), multiple competing forms (overabundance), and how memory and analogy shape morphological systems. This research is aimed at students interested in linguistic typology, computational morphology, and the cognitive processes underlying language structure.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a peak in 2022, a gap in 2024, and a sharp rise projected for 2026, suggesting an uneven but active and ongoing research pace.
