My name is Starr Sandoval, and I\u2019m a sixth year PhD candidate in the <a href=\"https:\/\/linguistics.ubc.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Linguistics<\/a> at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ubc.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of British Columbia<\/a>. My primary research interests lie in semantics and fieldwork. My supervisor is <a href=\"https:\/\/morzycki.github.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marcin Morzycki,<\/a> and my committee includes <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ryanbochnak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ryan Bochnak<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/linguistics.ubc.ca\/profile\/hotze-rullmann\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hotze Rullmann<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>My dissertation develops a framework for classifying different flavors of non-intersective adjectives and works to formalize how certain non-intersective adjectives influence grammatical properties of nominals. Stemming from this line of research, I also work on adverbials, <em>as-<\/em>phrases, constituent question word inventories, intensification, and expressive language.\u00a0 You can read more about my research and the projects I&#8217;m involved in <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/starrsandoval\/research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>My fieldwork involves the documentation and analysis of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktunaxa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ktunaxa<\/a>, a language isolate spoken in interior British Columbia and parts of Idaho, Washington, and Montana. I am currently collaborating with Ktunaxa community member Violet Birdstone to document forms of expressive meaning.
