Dr. Mohsen Mahdavi Mazdeh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics, with additional appointments in the Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT) program and the Roshan Graduate Program in Persian and Iranian Studies. He is a phonologist, and his research focuses primarily on prosody (e.g., poetic meter, intonation, and stress) and the syntax–phonology interface. Most of his work centers on Iranian languages. In addition to phonology, his research also engages with other aspects of these languages, including their morphosyntax, history, literary traditions, and contact with neighboring languages such as Arabic and Turkish.
