Welcome new Baggetts, Jad and Laurel

Say Hello to Jad Wehbe and Laurel Whitfield, our new Baggett Fellows.

Say Hello to Jad Wehbe and Laurel Whitfield, our new Baggett Fellows. Jad just graduated from Harvard, with concentrations in Linguistics and Mathematics, and a senior thesis on modality and past tense in Lebanese Arabic, with advisor Gennaro Chierchia. Laurel comes to us from UMass Amherst with a B.S. in Psychology, a minor in Linguistics and Education, and a senior thesis with Adrian Staub that uses eye-tracking data to assess processing of garden paths and object relative clauses in 7-and 8-year-olds. Jad and Laurel will be mentored by Valentine Hacquard and Jeffrey Lidz.
