Hi!

I am a Senior Lecturer and the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Linguistics at Columbia University.

I am interested in all aspects of the study of language (linguistics), with a focus on cross-linguistic semanticshow meaning is encoded and conveyed in the world’s languages.

I teach courses in some of the core areas of linguistics—sounds, grammar, and meaningas well as fieldwork methodologies and how languages change across time and space:

    • LING GU4376: Phonetics & Phonology
    • LING GU4903: Syntax
    • LING GU4023: Semantics
    • LING GU4120: Language Documentation & Field Methods
    • LING GU4108: Language History
