Linguistics
Sproat graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985, under the supervision of Kenneth L. Hale.[2] His PhD thesis is one of the earliest work that derives morphosyntactically complex forms from the module which produces the phonological form that realizes these morpho-syntactic expressions, one of the core ideas in Distributed Morphology.[3]
Sproat's main contribution to computational linguistics is in the field of text normalization, where his work with colleagues in 2001, Normalization of non-standard words,[4] was considered a seminal work in formalizing this component of speech synthesis systems.[5]
