Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

  • MA in Linguistic Theory and Typology from the University of Kentucky
  • BA in Linguistics with a minor in German from the University of Oklahoma
I am primarily interested in the languages of the Caucasus and the Northeast Caucasian language. Within this region and family, I am interested in examining how language contact and patterns of mutlilingualism within and between language families can and does contribute to patterns of areal diffusion and crosslinguistic variation. I am also interested in how various sociocultural, economic, and typological factors in language contact areas affect the outcomes of that contact on the linguistic system, as well as how linguistic "complexity" is conceptualized and treated within the literature.
