Professional characteristics
Katalin Balogné Bérces took her MA in English Language and Literature from the Faculty of Humanities, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest, Hungary in 1998, and then she started research in the English Linguistics PhD Programme of ELTE. She defended her PhD thesis, entitled Strict CV Phonology and the English Cross-Word Puzzle, with the highest qualifications (summa cum laude) in 2006. (The revised version of the thesis was published as a monograph in 2008 by VDM Verlag.) She has received research grants to the Department of Linguistics, SOAS, London (2001, 2003), and CASTL, Tromsø (2011). Her field of research is the phonology of English, with special interest in its syllable structure and consonantal processes. Besides a number of organisations (ESSE, SKASE, HUSSE, etc.) she is a member of the Government Phonology Round Table. She is the pronunciation editor of several English-Hungarian dictionaries.
She has taught various courses on English linguistics, phonology, syntax and dialectology at PPKE/PPCU as well as (formerly) ELTE and Károli Gáspár University (Budapest), and (currently) the Catholic University of Ružomberok; she has guest-lectured at the University of Edinburgh and is now a regular invited lecturer at Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. She has been working at the Department of English Language and Literature, KU, since 2019, as a full-time lecturer since 2020.

Projects
I am currently involved in the following research projects I am planning to continue pursuing and to accomplish:
- 1 Oct 2022–31 Aug 2026: OTKA project (NKFIH #142498) (granted by the National Research, Development and Innovation (NRDI) Office and the Ministry for Innovation and Technology (ITM)) “Laryngeal patterns in synchrony and diachrony”, principal investigator: Péter Szigetvári (ELTE, Budapest). http://seas.elte.hu/w/!laryngeal
- Our team is working on the phonetics and phonology of laryngeal (voicing and aspirating) patterns in languages, with a primary focus on synchronic and diachronic varieties of English and in second and third language acquisition. Experimental phonetic data are being gathered to support theoretical modelling. I am primarily concerned with dialectal variation and laryngeal subsystems in English, its emergence and motivation in historical and contact processes.
- 2023–2024: “Theoretical Phonology and the Phonology of English” (ThPhPhE) international project led by Patrick Honeybone (U. of Edinburgh) and Martin Krämer (U. of Tromsø)
- The (unfunded) project intends to fill the gap in the current phonological literature of a comprehensive reference work on recent theoretical argumentation based on data from (varieties of) English on the one hand, and on phenomena attested in (varieties of) present-day English couched in cutting-edge theoretical discourse on the other. My planned contribution is on laryngeal subsystems and models of voice assimilation.
- 2023–2024: Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Phonology (PhonCom2) international project led by Kuniya Nasukawa; editors: Kuniya Nasukawa (Tohoku Gakuin University, Sendai, Japan), Bridget Samuels (University of Southern California, USA), Geoff Schwartz (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland), Miklós Törkenczy (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary)
- The second volume is intended as a complement to the book first published in 2011. My planned contribution is on consonantal phonotactics.
- Jan 2024 – Dec 2026: Excellent research group internal grant of Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, PPCU, awarded to the Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics Research Group’s project “‘Incomplete’ linguistic systems in a theoretical and experimental linguistic approach” (PPKE-BTK-KUT-23-2), principal investigator: Balázs Surányi
- My planned contribution is to the theoretical phonological module (hybrid laryngeal systems emerging under language/dialect contact (esp. Northern British varieties of English); the emergence of an internal speech norm in the development of New Zealand English -- in collaboration with supervisee Erika Sajtós) and to the second language phonological module (interlanguage phonology, pronunciation teaching, the components of learner pronunciation and their characterisation in terms of teachability and learnability, Eastern European English phonology -- in collaboration with ex-supervisee Ágnes Piukovics and current co-supervisee Noémi Gyurka).
Besides these, a collaboration with Shanti Ulfsbjorninn (Memorial U. of Newfoundland) is still in progress (and the results are still to be published) on palatalisation in Hungarian on the one hand, and on the synchronic and diachronic analysis of article allomorphy interacting with H-dropping in (British) English on the other.
