Department of Linguistics
Walther Glödstaf: Grad Student Spotlight
My current research focuses on understanding the psycholinguistic foundations of L1-attrition and modeling it in communities via agent-based simulations, to understand the importance of variation within and across speaker groups. I have also done research on Finnish syntax and economical and political analyses of European minority language protection policy, and the sociolinguistics of online study abroad communities.
Martin Lehrer: Alumni Spotlight
During my first year in the program, I was admitted to a PhD program in Germany and offered a lecturer position. After a year of working and researching in Germany, I decided to return to UIUC to pursue my PhD in Curriculum & Instruction.
