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 focus on cross-linguistic semantics: how meaning is encoded and conveyed across the world’s languages.
My courses cover core areas of linguistics—sounds, grammar, and meaning—as well as fieldwork methodologies and language change:
-
- LING GU4376: Phonetics & Phonology
- LING GU4903: Syntax
- LING GU4023: Semantics
- LING GU4120: Language Documentation & Field Methods
- LING GU4108: Language History
