"He collected her gestures because destiny hides in the trivial, and to extract the vast from the little is a gift, like perfect pitch." ~Alice Fulton
I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Linguistics at Stanford University.
As a sociolinguist, I believe identity is created in the shared space between speaker and listener, so my research in sociophonetics examines both speech production and speech perception.
My dissertation, entitled "Marginalization in a Marginalized Community: Rurality, masculinity, and language variation in the wild, wild West," is an ethnographic study of local ways of being and talking "country" in one rural, mountainous California community: Trinity County. The dissertation also explores the language and lifestyles of the Nor-Rel-Muk Indians, a group that is marginalized by the locally-dominant, white "country" culture.
Some of my other recent research focuses on the rich possibilities for phonetic symbolism in English and Arabic speech styles. I also work on issues of language and sexuality and language, race and ethnicity.
