Student award: Holistic Science Prize4/20/2021 My Linguistics student Mik Martinelli's dissertation was awarded the Holistic Science Prize! The award is a great honor! It is sponsored by the OSU Math department and occurs across the College of Arts & Sciences in recognition of pre-doctoral excellence in interdisciplinary science. Mik's dissertation uses methods from three linguistic disciplines to examine communication strategies among people with aphasia and their nurses and speech-language pathologists. She hopes to continue bringing her expertise in linguistic methods to improve quality of life for adults with acquired communication disorders like aphasia and dysarthria secondary to conditions like stroke, palsies, or Parkinson disease.
Student award: Sias Graduate Research3/15/2021 My grad student Molly Landers was awarded our department's new Jeanette Sias Graduate Research Scholarship! This is in recognition of her work in my lab so far and in support of her continuing thesis work. She has been collecting and analyzing recordings about vowel mergers before /l/ in Oklahoma, and now her thesis will look for relationships between these pronunciations (does pull sound more like pole or pool?) and local pride ("rootedness").
Master's defense & MNSHA3/4/2021 My master's student Madison has successfully defended and submitted her thesis, A multifactor comparison of pragmatics, social relationships, and discrimination among individuals with hearing loss! She will also present her results at the Minnesota Speech-Language-Hearing Association online convention. This is the first paper to come out of the DXDX project, and Madison's surveys form the foundation for our next research questions into relationships between sociolinguistic experience and quality of life among people with early hearing loss.

Sociophonetics Lab Class of 20195/14/2019 Busy first semester12/3/2017 My first semester at OSU has been busy! I prepared two classes, started setting up my lab, audited a grant-writing class, joined a PhD committee, became a consultant on an NIH grant proposal, submitted conference abstracts, reviewed journal manuscripts, joined the Friends of Oklahoma Language Sciences (FOOLS), attended various workshops, and worked on my own manuscripts (somewhere in there). I also found some time for things like Homecoming, an OSU football game, the state fair, and butterflies at the Botanic Garden.
Here are some pictures from campus. It took a couple months, but I no longer look for construction hazards when I see orange ;) Italy!5/7/2017 New job at OK State!2/28/2017 |
