Personal bio
I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Linguistics at Stanford University. As a sociolinguist, I believe identity is created in the shared space between speaker and listener, so I work on both speech production and speech perception. My research in sociophonetics explores speech styles and social "types" while aiming to integrate cognitive and social models of variation. Recently, I have been exploring the rich possibilities for phonetic symbolism in English and Arabic speech styles. I also work on issues of language, gender and sexuality and language, race and ethnicity. |
