• Hi! My name is Mikaela. Welcome to my site!

    I’m a fourth year Ph.D. candidate in linguistics at UPenn. Check out my website for more about me and my work.

A sneak peek at some research updates…

My recent papers on using eye-tracking to investigate race and persona effects on imprecision (co-author: Florian Schwarz) and the substratal origins of Gullah copula da (co-authors: Marlyse Baptista, Paloma Jeretič) were accepted to the 54th annual meeting of New Ways in Analyzing Variation (NWAV 54) in Montreal, CAN!

My paper (co-authored with Andrea Beltrama, Meredith Tamminga, and Florian Schwarz) was accepted as a poster presentation to the 4th annual meeting of Experiments in Linguistic Meaning (ELM4), held in Philadelphia, PA.

My paper on race and person effects on imprecision was accepted as a poster presentation to Human Sentence Processing (HSP), held in Cambridge, MA.
