Bio
My research interests include bilingualism and its impact on semantics and phonological awareness, lexical semantics, forensic linguistics, phonetics, phonology (pharyngealization and pharyngeal harmony in Levantine Arabic, gemination in Levantine Arabic, nasalization and nasal geminates in Levantine Arabic), documentation of the world’s endangered languages, and rhetoric and Toulmin-style argumentation. My current work examines cross-linguistic syntactic priming in late Arabic-English bilingual speakers in written and spoken modalities. Outside of academia, I am an avid hiker and a fashion designer.
