¡Hola! - Xin Chào - Hi There!I'm Hannah Forsythe. I earned my Ph.D. in linguistics from Michigan State University and a two-year NSF postdoctoral fellowship at UC Irvine's Computation of Language Lab with Dr. Lisa Pearl. I also completed a data science fellowship at The Data Incubator.
Nowadays I work for the Sate of Michigan Division of Immunizations tracking COVID vaccination rates. Be safe and get vaccinated! ¿Y Vos? - Còn Ban, Thì Sao? - And You? |
Research Topics

My linguistic research asks how children map the forms of language to their meaning(s), especially when these mappings are ambiguous, variable, or noisy. I use formal, behavioral, corpus, and computational methods.
¿? How do children map pronouns to their antecedents? ¿? How do children map a meaning onto competing sociolinguistic variants? ¿? How do children growing up with mixed input handle inconsistent form-meaning mappings? ¿? How do children map the same semantic primitives to different syntax across English, Spanish, and Vietnamese? ¿? How is gradability mapped to syntactic categories like verbs and prepositions? |
