I am a Senior Lecturer and the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Linguistics at Columbia University.
I am interested in all aspects of linguistics (the study of language), with a special focus on cross-linguistic semantics—investigating how meaning is encoded and conveyed in the languages of the world.
My courses cover the core areas of linguistics—sounds (phonetics and phonology), grammar (syntax), and meaning (semantics)—as well as fieldwork methodologies and the diversification of languages over time and space:
-
- LING GU4376: Phonetics & Phonology
- LING GU4903: Syntax
- LING GU4023: Semantics
- LING GU4120: Language Documentation & Field Methods
- LING GU4108: Language History
