About

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Linguistics at UCLA. My primary areas of interest are phonetics, phonology, language documentation and typology. I received an M.A. in Linguistics from Wayne State University in Winter 2020.

My first name is pronounced [dʒa.nə.vi] in English and [dʒa.nɦɐ.ʋi:] in Marathi. Where the stress goes is a topic of contentious debate between me and my parents. You are welcome to choose sides. I prefer [ˌdʒa.nə.ˈvi] . My last name rhymes with the English word ‘marker’ and is pronounced [ˈnaɾ.ˌkəɾ] in Marathi, and with any rhotic of your choosing in English. I use feminine pronouns.
