I am a fourth year graduate student in
Linguistics at USC.
I am interested in psycho- and computational linguistics, semantics,
and
second language acquisition. でも、日本語は、忘れてしまいました。
I am continuing work on my (successfully passed) PhD screening paper, which (don't read this if you are a participant) examined the interpretation of stressed and unstressed pronouns under varying discourse coherence relations (based on Andrew Kehler's work)
My Masters screening paper, in semantics, was on emphatic reflexives that mean "without help", like "Erin wrote that whole miserable paper herself." (Which is not even really true.) If you are interested, I would be grateful to have any comments. The paper is here.
My husband wrote Amelia and yours didn't. Or at least, it's unlikely.
Obligatory cat picture(s)!
