Shweta Akolkar

Welcome! 

I'm a fourth year PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at UC Berkeley, advised by Amy Rose Deal. My primary research interests are in semantics, syntax, and language documentation. Much of my recent work focuses on perspective and self-reference in attitude reports across languages.

Since 2019, I have been working on the documentation and description of Bishnupriya Manipuri in collaboration with speakers based in New York City and with the Endangered Language Alliance.

I am currently co-organizing Syntax & Semantics Circle at Berkeley with Franco Liu. If you are interested in presenting your work at this venue, feel free to send me an email!
