I am happy to announce that I finished my PhD in French and Italian as well as an MA in German in 2024. I was fortunate enough to be able to complete both degrees simultaneously in 4 years.

Chad Howe

My primary area of research is language variation and change, focusing on structural phenomena in the Romance Languages. More generally, I investigate the forces that shape language use and the subsequent effect that these forces have on how language evolves. The most recent extension of this research involves analyzed data from social media for evidence of language change. I am also involved in work related to Spanish/Quechua contact. For a…
