Research and Professional Activities

 
 
My research lies at the intersections of language contact, language variation and sociocultural landscapes.  I am increasingly curious about the place of cognition for these intersections.


My book Vox Popular Language Variation in the Mass Media was recently published with Wiley Blackwell.
