Welcome to this fall’s labbies!

Welcome to the current Linguistics students who’ve joined the lab this semester:

Felix Kpogo (BU GRS ’23) is a second-year PhD student in Linguistics. His interests are in first and second language acquisition (in particular, phonological and lexical acquisition), bilingualism, and African/Ghanaian languages such as Akan, Ga, and Ewe. His previous research examined Akan-English bilinguals’ production of English interdental fricatives (Kpogo & Gathercole, in press). Currently, he is working on a qualifying paper about covert contrast in Ga-speaking children as well as Ga-English bilingual children.
Kevin Samejon (BU GRS ’24) is a first-year PhD student in Linguistics. His interests are in phonetics, phonology, speech production and perception, prosody, semantics, and Philippine languages.
Rui Xu (BU GRS ’20) is a second-year MA student in Linguistics. Her interests primarily lie in phonology, syntax, language acquisition, and multilingualism.

And a warm welcome back to Michael as he finishes up work on his UROP project!
