I received my Ph.D. in English (Rhetoric, Composition, and Linguistics), with an emphasis in historical English linguistics, from Arizona State University in 2011. My research has focused on the intersection of syntax and pragmatics, in English, Mandarin, and other languages, that enables the development of speech-act, evaluative, evidential, and epistemic adverbs. Since I arrived at UWSP in 2014, I have developed a research line in linguistic instruction.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Teaching and Learning PhilosopHy<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>As a linguist, my credo for teaching has long been \u201cOnly connect!\u201d from E. M. Forster\u2019s <em>Howard\u2019s End<\/em>, and I encourage students to see how strongly our urge to connect with each other drives our language use. I also recognize that all language use\u2014all such connection\u2014is not treated equally. Language is a significant locus for the exercise of power. In all my classes, I ask \u201cWho makes the rules with language?\u201d and \u201cWhose language is considered the \u2018best\u2019? What does that mean? What\/who drives these decisions?\u201d Issues of power can be seen at global levels, but they are also local, and the classroom is a place where we can see those issues at work. In classroom interactions, I encourage and offer high-impact teaching and modeling practices, always working to mitigate and examine the inherent power asymmetries and how they affect our language practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-md-3 cfct-block\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cfct-module uwsa-rich-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cfct-mod-content copy\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13888 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2022\/05\/Berry_headshot-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Berry_headshot\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2022\/05\/Berry_headshot-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2022\/05\/Berry_headshot-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2022\/05\/Berry_headshot-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2022\/05\/Berry_headshot-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2022\/05\/Berry_headshot.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4665,"featured_media":0,"parent":13031,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14236","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","cfct-can-haz-build"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4665"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14236"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14730,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14236\/revisions\/14730"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/opid\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
