I am a Senior Lecturer and the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Linguistics at Columbia University. You can learn about our program and keep up with our latest updates on the Columbia Linguistics Blog!
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).
