Assistant Professor of Linguistics

BA, Columbia University
MA and PhD, University of California, Berkeley
Prof. Barnes's dissertation was entitled, "The Phonetics and Phonology of Positional Neutralization." In his work, he develops formal phonological analyses of observed typological and language-internal regularities, grounding the results in the insights of phonetics and diachrony. He has extensive experience both in experimental phonetics and in diachronic analysis, but his primary interest is in phonological theory.

[Description for Fall 2008] Wait list
Introduction to linguistics. Study of the fundamental properties that all languages share, and of how languages differ, with respect to structure (sound system, word formation, syntax), expression of meaning, acquisition, variation, and change; cultural and artistic uses of languages; comparison of oral, written, and signed languages.
- CAS LX 250 satisfies the Humanities Divisional Studies course requirement.
- Students signing up for CAS LX 250 A1 should also sign up for one of the discussion sections (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, or S6).
[No prerequisites.] |
