Michael Becker is a phonologist who specializes in the phonological organization of the lexicon. In his experimental work, he studies how speakers find patterns in their real words and use them to treat words that they haven't heard before.

Rajesh Bhatt's research interests involve the syntax-semantics interface, the comparative syntax of Modern Indo-Aryan languages, and Tree Adjoining Grammars.

María’s research focuses on how meanings are assembled, and on how structure and context conditions the pragmatic inferences that are made.

Professor Seth Cable specializes in the interface between formal semantic theory and field research, also known as 'semantic fieldwork'. This work aims to both deepen our documentation and analytic understanding of particular understudied languages, as well as to broaden our understanding of the ways in which linguistic meaning varies across human languages. He received a PhD in linguistics from MIT in 2007, an MS in mathematical logic from the University of Amsterdam in 2002, and a BA in linguistics and philosophy from Rutgers College in 2001.
