CHAD HOWE Assistant Professor of Spanish Chad Howe comes to UGA from Ohio State University where he recently completed his dissertation entitled "Cross-dialectal Features of the Spanish Present Perfect: A Typological Analysis of Form and Function." Prof. Howe's research concerns the interplay between meaning and context and their expression in the tense/aspect systems of Spanish and Portuguese. Among his current projects is an analysis of the factors contributing to the convergence of verbal features in the language of monolinguals and bilinguals in the Andean region of South America, primarily in situations of extended linguistic contact between Spanish and Quechua.
During the summer, Prof. Howe will be returning to South America to continue his fieldwork in conjunction with the Centro Bartolomé de las Casas and the Asociación Pukllasunchis in Cusco, Perú. He is also working on a project aimed at describing the circumstances that give rise to complex antecedents and the contextual factors involved in their interpretation, specifically in languages where null anaphors are possible (e.g. Spanish and Portuguese). Prof. Howe’s work has appeared in various sources including Romance Linguistics: Theory and Acquisition and Penn Working Papers in Linguistics, as well as numerous national and international conferences. While at UGA, Prof. Howe hopes to become an active member of the linguistics community and to offer students the opportunity to work with ongoing research in the field. |
