I am a Senior Lecturer and the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Linguistics at Columbia University.
I am interested in all aspects of how languages work, especially semantics (the study of linguistic meaning) and its interplay with syntax (grammar) and phonology (linguistic sound systems).
I regularly teach the following five courses:
-
- LING GU4376: Phonetics & Phonology
- LING GU4903: Syntax
- LING GU4023: Semantics
- LING GU4120: Language Documentation & Field Methods
- LING GU4108: Language Change
