Congrats to UROP recipient Aspen Bombardo
Congratulations to Aspen Bombardo, who was awarded a second Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) grant to continue working on research in Spring 2019! Below is a brief description of the project she will be working on:
- Aspen Bombardo: “Variation in the production of English consonant clusters by Asian American bilinguals”
Aspen will be working on a sociophonetic research project examining features of English and heritage languages spoken by Asian Americans, across a range of ethnicities and life histories in the U.S. In Spring 2019, Aspen will analyze speech recordings from interviews with Vietnamese Americans and Chinese Americans who learned English as a second language, with a focus on variation in the production of /sC/ consonant clusters.
