About
Cecilia is a 3rd year PhD student in Linguistics at UM. In her research she investigates language contact phenomena in Mexico and the U.S., working primarily with Latino Englishes, Spanish-English and Nahuatl-Spanish bilingualism. More specifically, Cecilia investigates how these language contact settings lead to language change, both at the community and individual level, particularly in phenomena such as quantification, ellipsis, code-switching, language dominance and language attitudes. Cecilia received her B.A in Teaching of Spanish and M.A. in Spanish Linguistics from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she taught Heritage Spanish, Spanish as a Second Language, and Spanish Linguistics. Currently Cecilia serves as Editor's Assistant for the linguistics research journal, Language.
