About me
Hi! I am Adolfo, a fifth-year PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at Stanford advised by Christopher Potts and I am affiliated with The Stanford NLP Group, Interactional Sociophonetics Lab, and Contact Variation and Change Lab. I am broadly interested in sociolinguistics, lexical semantics, pragmatics, and computational linguistics. I use computational and data-driven methodologies to study language variation and change at the level of semantics and pragmatics.
