About me

Hi! I am Adolfo, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at Stanford advised by Christopher Potts and I am affiliated with The Stanford NLP Group, Contact Variation and Change Lab, and ALPS. I am broadly interested in computational linguistics, lexical semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and their multiple intersections. My work is interdisciplinary and relies on computational and data-driven methodologies to inform theories of variation.
