About

Welcome!

My name is Csilla Tatár [‘t͡ʃilːɒ ‘tɒtaːr] (she / her), I am a Linguistics PhD candidate at the Department of Linguistics, University of Michigan – Ann Arbor.

In my work, I focus on exploring the connection between meaning (semantics, pragmatics) and form (prosody, phonetics, gesture) via experimental and theoretical means. Broadly, my interests are:

• the intersection of information structure with prosody and co-speech gesture
• the semantics and prosody of Hungarian
• conveying and recognizing speaker attitude, in relation to both the general population and individuals on the autism spectrum

My dissertation research is centered around the prosodic and information structural underpinnings of speech and co-speech gesture alignment in Hungarian.
