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, Contact Variation and Change Lab, and ALPS. I am broadly interested in sociolinguistics, lexical semantics, pragmatics, and computational linguistics. My work relies on computational and data-driven methodologies to inform theories of language variation and change.
