About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Arabic linguistics, currently working on my dissertation which draws on sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and language contact studies to reconstruct Pre-Islamic Arabic dialects (not Proto-Arabic).
My other research interests include differential case marking, language contact studies (especially between closely related varieties), media representations of language, and the choice and manipulation of linguistic register by speakers.
For more information about me, please visit my homepage on UT's Department of Middle Eastern Studies Website.
