Liz McCullough

Congratulations are due to Liz McCullough, who has taken a post-doctoral position with Professor Cynthia Clopper and Professor Laura Wagner (OSU Psychology) on their project, "A Large-Scale Cross-Sectional Investigation of Dialect Acquisition".  Liz provided me this brief description of her responsibilities to project:

"I'll be responsible for overseeing our data collection efforts at COSI, investigating regional dialect perception and production in participants of all ages with a particular focus on children.  We're planning for at least 5,000 participants over 2 years.  Dialect research with children tends to be limited in a variety of ways, so a large-scale effort like this stands to contribute quite a lot to our understanding of sociolinguistic development."

Terrific news, Liz!
