Derek Denis: Toronto, Ontario, Canada; My name is Derek. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Toronto, Canada.
My linguistic interest lies at the interface between theoretical and variationist approaches to studying language. I am particularly interested in the role of contrast and markedness in both phonological and morphosyntactic change.

Linguistics projects I am working on/thinking about

1) Change through transmission and diffusion above the level of phonology. (W/ Sali Tagliamonte)

2) Cross-variety comparisons of discourse variables.

3) Quantitative accountability in "sociosyntax"
