11/20/06: New website! Thanks to everyone who came to see my talk at NWAV. Aside from NWAV-ing, I've been spending most of my time doing fieldwork for my dissertation.
Research
Summary
My primary research area is sociolinguistics, which refers to the study of language and society. Most of my recent projects address questions of how children learn what different ways of speaking mean, and which aspects of language might be socially meaningful. My research tends to involve some variety of Chinese, though I also happily work on Japanese and Irish.
