Anthi Revithiadou is Professor of Linguistics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. She received her Ph.D. from Leiden University/HIL in 1999 (Ph.D. thesis: Headmost Accent Wins). Before her appointment at the AUTh, she was a Talent-Stipendium (NWO) postdoc researcher at UMass, Amherst (1998-1999) and a Faculty Member at the Dept. of Modern Foreign Languages at Boston University (2000-2001) and the Dept. of Mediterranean Studies, University of the Aegean (2001-2009).
Her primary research emphasis is on phonology and its interface with morphology and syntax. In her dissertation she examined a group of lexical accent systems, namely Greek, Russian, and a few Salish languages, and proposed that stress in such systems is largely determined by morphosyntactic structure. Another focal point of her research is investigating the flow and processing of information between the components of Grammar and, especially, the question of whether phonology reflects differences in the processing of syntactic material. She also has a profound interest in contact-induced systems and, especially, those varieties of Greek that have been in long-term contact with Turkish (e.g. Asia Minor Greek, Ofitika Pontic, Rhodian Muslim Greek, etc.).
