Technical editor by day, linguist by night

I received my PhD in Linguistics from Stony Brook University. I work mainly on morphophonology using a mix of computational and theoretical linguistics. My main language specialization is Armenian phonology and its interfaces with other language modules. As a computational linguist, I focus on finite-state treatments for phonology and morphology.

I consider myself a descriptive grammarian who wants to understand his data, and a computational linguist who loves puzzle solving. I mostly work on Armenian but I love venturing onto areally and typologically related languages in the Middle East and Near East. I never say no to a quirky pattern when I see one.

I am currently settled in San Jose, CA. I hold a Visitor Scholar position at Stony Brook. You can contact me via email: hossep.dolatian@alumni.stonybrook.edu.
