Research overview
               I'm an anthropological linguist at the University of Miami. There are numerous aspects of anthropology and linguistics that interest me. While   
               much of my research relates to acoustic phonetics and morphosyntax, these days I'm particularly fascinated by the effects of language on   
               non-linguistic cognition. I've been investigating the linguistic relativity hypothesis through studies with Amazonian populations.
