Tamari Berulava <\/strong>I’m Tamari (she\/her), but feel free to call me Tam. Originally from Georgia, I pursued linguistics in G\u00f6ttingen, where I earned my MA degree. I find the most fun in semantics and pragmatics, and I\u0092ve recently worked on topics like pluralities and (in)definiteness. In my free time, I love doing puzzles, playing the piano, and capturing moments with my film camera. I\u0092m also a big fan of getting some quality sleep.<\/p>\n

Jinlin Chen <\/strong>My name is Lin. I’m from Shanghai, China. My main interests lie in semantics and pragmatics, especially the semantics of Chinese dialects. Outside linguistics, I enjoy watching anime, detective series, comedy shows, playing and watching sports (soccer, pingpong) and travelling.<\/p>\n

Heidi Durresi <\/strong>Hi! My name is Heidi (she\/her). I’m originally from Albania but was born in the US,\u00a0and spent most of\u00a0my\u00a0childhood and teenage years in Albania. I returned to the US to do my undergraduate degree here at MIT,\u00a0where I studied linguistics and theoretical computer science,\u00a0and did some research in computational\u00a0neuroscience.\u00a0 Within linguistics, I’m generally interested in theoretical and computational phonology. I’m also more broadly interested in work that bridges generative linguistics and cognitive science. Outside of linguistics, I like watching\u00a0movies and helping out behind the scenes with theater productions at MIT.<\/p>\n

Alma Frischoff\u00a0<\/strong>My name is Alma, and I’m from Tel Aviv. I studied at the interdisciplinary program at Tel Aviv University, where I mostly focused on linguistics, mathematics and literature, and eventually continued to an MA degree in linguistics. I am primarily interested in semantics, pragmatics and their interface, and my MA thesis focuses on pragmatic, game-theoretic models and their predictions for conjunctive readings of disjunctions (e.g. free choice inferences). In my free time, I enjoy reading and making ceramics.<\/p>\n

Amy Li <\/strong>Hi everyone, I’m Amy (she\/her). You might know me already since I just finished my undergrad here at MIT. I’m interested in phonetics and phonology, speech production, language variation and change, mental representations of language, and applying computational methods to all of the above. Outside of linguistics, I like playing card games, taking walks along the river, and spending time with friends.<\/p>\n

Rotsuprit Saengthong <\/strong>My name is Rotsuprit Saengthong, and I usually go by my nickname, Ford, which is a common practice in my home country. I\u0092m originally from Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. I grew up speaking both Lao and Thai. I have currently completed my MA in Linguistics at the University of Kansas, USA. My primary research interest is syntax. I\u0092m particularly interested in topics such as A and A\u0092- dependencies, left-periphery, and structure-building of non-finite clauses. Outside of Linguistics, I enjoy sightseeing and listening to Mohlam\u0097the traditional folk music of northeastern Thailand. And I\u0092m a dog person.<\/p>\n

Ogloo Jurkhaichin <\/strong>My name is Ogloo, and I come from Inner Mongolia, China. I’m mostly interested in syntax, morphology, and their interfaces, with a focus on Mongolian and other Altaic languages. Here at MIT, I look forward to leveraging the MITILI program to explore the latest theoretical linguistic theories and methodologies. I hope to be able to contribute to the Mongolian linguistic research by bridging the gap between traditional descriptive studies and contemporary theoretical linguistic theories.<\/p>\n

Here’s a little fun fact about my name\u0097besides being a perfect example of Mongolian vowel harmony: In most parts of Inner Mongolia, Mongolians usually do not use their last\/family names at all in everyday life, which means your closest friend might not even know your family name in most occasions. So, please feel free to just call me Ogloo!<\/div>\n

William Pacheco\u00a0<\/strong>Kuu’t weh tsi hoopah? My name is William Kaishr’tuuwah Pacheco \u0096 I am from the village of Kewa, also known as Santo Domingo Pueblo - it’s located between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am in the ILI program, and I will be working on my indigenous language \u0096 Keres. I was a teacher of Kewa Keres at Santa Fe Indian School.<\/p>\n

I graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in May, and during my time there, I cross-registered here and met several faculty members and students from the linguistics department. Outside of academics, I love to travel and have been working with pottery and ceramics since I was very young. Being from New Mexico, I embrace our \u0093land of ma\u00f1ana\u0094 vibe \u0097 meaning things can often wait until tomorrow!<\/p>\n

One more thing \u0097 in high school, I was quite the class clown in my math class. To channel my energy, my teacher gave me a book to read: Surely You\u0092re Joking, Mr. Feynman! Feynman\u0092s humorous exploits and the fact that he worked nearby in Los Alamos made him one of my heroes. I even dreamed of becoming a physicist. Now, as I walk the Infinite Corridor, I feel a connection to Feynman and my youth \u0097 though it wasn\u0092t physics that led me to MIT, but my passion for my own native language.<\/p>\n

Vladislav Orlov <\/strong>My name is Vlad (he\/him), I am originally from a small town near Moscow, Russia, although I stayed at different places in the last two years. I completed my Master\u0092s in Linguistics at Moscow State University . I am primarily interested in syntax and semantics focusing on the approaches to scope phenomena. I study Uralic languages in the field, so I worked on a bunch of Finnic languages, Mari and Udmurt languages. Apart from linguistics, I am really into classical music, and I also like hiking and watching some good old movies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
