Research and Dissertation Focus: Unraveling Linguistic Complexity
​​
My academic journey centers on understanding the outcomes of language and dialect contact and the social significance of linguistic variables. My dissertation, which contributes to Daniel Erker's Spanish in Boston Project, focuses on the dynamic nature of Spanish liquids ("l" and "r" sounds) and their interaction with other linguistic features. This research provides insights into communication patterns, social identity, and cultural integration, with practical implications for linguistics, language education, and social integration policies.
