Jake Aziz and a sifaka lemur, called simpony in Malagasy

I'm on the academic job market! I'm interested in tenure-track positions in phonology, phonetics, and fieldwork.

Hi! I'm Jake Aziz, a sixth-year PhD student in UCLA’s Department of Linguistics.

My interests lie in phonetics and phonology, the syntax-prosody interface, and all things Malagasy.

This year, I am working on my dissertation, titled The Phonetics and Phonology of Malagasy Vowel Devoicing. More info on my research can be found here.

My last name is pronounced [e͡ɪzɨz] (like hazes without the /h/) and when you cite me you can use the pronouns he/him!
