Courses Taught
Spring 2025, Instructor (Graduate Center Fellow), Brooklyn College, LING 3020: Phonology.
Description: This class will be an introduction to phonology, with emphasis on isolating the phonemes and deriving the phonological rules of a language using data provided. You will learn how to identify different speech sounds, describe their articulatory features, and transcribe speech using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). You will also learn how to analyze linguistic data to find the phonemes and allophones of a language, and to derive the corresponding phonological rules. We will study the distinctive features of speech sounds, phonological alternations, and morphophonemics in the second half of the course.
Fall 2024, Instructor, University of Southern Maine, LIN 186: Introduction to Linguistics: Lab.
Fall 2022-Fall 2024, Instructor (Graduate Center Fellow), Brooklyn College, LING 2001: Introduction to Linguistics.
Description: This course will introduce students to the core fields within linguistics and to the methods of linguistic analysis. We will investigate how sounds and words are structured (phonology and morphology), how words are put together into sentences (syntax), and the systematic ways in which these convey meaning (semantics). We will also survey a variety of topics such as child language acquisition, the representation of linguistic knowledge in the brain, dialects and other social and cultural characteristics of language, and how spoken, signed, and written language relate to one another.
