Junko Itō

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Junko Itō is a Japanese-born[1] American linguist. She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics in 1986 from the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the supervision of Alan Prince.[2] She is currently a professor of linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she served as chair of the department from 1999-2006.[3]

Itō's research focuses on phonology and morphology. She is primarily known for her work on syllable structure within an optimality theoretic framework.[4] Her work has addressed the phonology of the Japanese language, including the rendaku phenomenon.[5] Her work has been published in Linguistic Inquiry amongst other peer-reviewed research journals in linguistics. She often collaborates with her UCSC colleague and husband .

She is the daughter of mathematician Kiyoshi Itō.[citation needed]
