Genie Enders and Luis Hernandez Rocha do summer Linguistics research under the Nexus Scholars Program
Cornell Arts & Sciences undergrad students Genie Enders and Luis Hernandez Rocha are conducting summer Linguistics research as part of the Nexus Scholars Program.
Working with Professor Sam Tilsen and Assistant Professor Helena Aparicio, Genie and Luis are studying how speakers plan and produce sentences when describing dynamic visual scenes.
The project combines eye tracking and sentence production to investigate how the timing of environment visual information influences syntactic and phonological planning processes.
To study this phenomenon, Genie and Luis have successfully recruited subjects and conducted experiments in the Linguistic Department's LiME (Linguistics Meaning) Lab, and they are also conducting online web-hosted experiments through the Phonetics Lab.
Genie and Luis are part of a cohort of 101 students in Arts and Sciences chosen for this program this year.

Jennifer Kuo joins the Cornell Department of Linguistics and the Phonetics Lab
Dr. Jennifer Kuo has joined the department as an Assistant Professor. Jennifer is primarily interested in how different learning biases affect morphophonological learning. She addresses this question by modeling how paradigms are (mis-)learned over time in a variety of Austronesian languages. More recently, she is supplementing these findings with experimental results from Artificial Grammar Learning studies.
We welcome Jennifer to the Department and to the Phonetics Lab!
