The Chandler Senior Experience
Complete your聽Senior Experience in a senior seminar in which you identify a research question on a topic of interest, critically review relevant literature, engage with linguistic data, and develop a well-conceived research proposal. Then, showcase your work by presenting it to students and faculty in the Linguistics program. If you have a second major, pursue a topic that integrates both fields (e.g., computational linguistics, large language models, artificial intelligence).
Recent Senior Experiences include:
- Native and non-native perceptions of pre-velar /忙/-raising in Wisconsin English
- English-Spanish Code-switching in Bilingual Blogs: Patterns among native English speakers living abroad
- What Did You Call That? An Examination of English Names Transliterated into Chinese
