Why Is René Kager Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, René Willibrord Joseph Kager is a Dutch linguist and Chair of English Linguistics and Phonology at Utrecht University. He is known for his works on phonology. Career Kager is a theoretical phonologist and works on child language acquisition. In his theoretical work he focuses on metric word stress and phonotactics in optimality theory and early perception of word prosodic properties such as tone, stress and rhythm, and segmental contrasts, in monolingual and bilingual infants. He is also involved in modeling aspects of phonological acquisition through artificial language learning studies. He has received several major national grants, including a VICI grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research on the role of phonotactics in speech segmentation. He is currently a Principal investigator in the Consortium on Individual Development.
