Hello!
Hello!
My name is Amelia Becker. I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Deaf Center at Boston University. My research focuses on the phonetics (physical language production) and phonology (how our cognitive language system categorizes this production into units) of American Sign Language. I am also interested in corpus building for signed languages. I am passionate about teaching and about making the field of linguistics accessible to Deaf/Hard of Hearing and all other researchers. Please navigate through this site's pages to learn more about my research and teaching.Â
