My research interests revolve around the Spanish varieties of the Southern Cone of South America (Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile), principally in the area of phonetics and phonology, primarily prosody. My secondary research interests include L2 Spanish phonetics and phonology and the role of context of learning on phonological gains.
As a U.S. Student Fulbrighter to Uruguay (Mar. – Dec. 2022) I conducted fieldwork for my dissertation and beyond. As a result I have created the Voces de Uruguay Linguistic Corpus, made up of 533 Adult Uruguayan Speakers from across the country, both urban and rural, of different ages, sexes, and education levels. Learn more about my linguistic corpus on it’s dedicated webpage vocesdeuruguay.com. I look forward to collaborating with both students and faculty on research projects using this corpus.
