Amanda Dye
I'm a second-year PhD student in Linguistics at NYU. I am a proud native of southeastern Ohio (that's the side that Cincinnati is not on), but I also have an abiding fondness for Boston (where I went to college) and some parts of Wales (where my family originally came from).
When I'm not doing linguistic-y things, you can find me...indulging my interests in photography, film, theater, and stand-up comedy (appreciation--not creation--thereof); cooking and baking, or finding new restaurants; and reading (Richard Yates, Wislawa Szymborska, 20th C. Welsh poetry, among many others).
Research Interests
Mainly phonology (including the phonology-morphology interface) and, more recently, phonetics.
Languages of Interest
Welsh, Czech (representative of my interest in Slavic languages in general), and French. (Subject to expansion, because I've never really met a language I didn't like.)
Education
B.A. in Linguistics, 2007
Harvard University
Thesis Title: "Mutatis Mutandis: A Dual Experimental Approach to Mutation in Welsh"
