Associate Professor of Germanic Studies & Linguistics 2016-2018 Lilly Teaching Fellow Research Research Areas: Research of Joshua Bousquette Research Interests: I teach courses in sociolinguistics and historical linguistics, working primarily within the Germanic family of languages. My research seeks to better understand the social factors and typological tendencies affecting language change; and the social, economic and community factors that affect language shift, particularly in heritage communities. Recent publications include an article published in Language Learning on language death, co-authored with Mike Putnam; the chapter on Germanic in The Indo-European Languages (Routledge, 2017), co-authored with Joe Salmons; and two special issues of Journal of Language Contact (11.2 & 11.3, 2018), which I co-edited with Joshua R.
