I am a second-year Master's student at UNC. My main interests are in socio-historical linguistics as well as semantics. This semester, I'm writing my thesis which examines the acquisition order of word boundary consonant clusters. Specifically, I am examining whether the Noisy Harmonic Grammar Gradual Learning Algorithm may be able to model this acquisition order.
