I am an Assistant Professor at UC Santa Cruz Linguistics. I also maintain a relationship with the University of Georgia Linguistics Lab. I previously worked at the Neuroscience of Language Lab (NeLLab) at NYU Abu Dhabi, under Profs. Liina Pylkkänen and Alec Marantz, and as Assistant Professor in the Institute of Linguistics at University of Minnesota. I am a co-principal investigator with Liina Pylkkänen on NSF Grant #2335767 ‘Examining syntactic and semantic computations when no order is imposed from the input.’ This project examines how the brain processes short sentences read in one fixation, instead of the usual word-by-word paradigms that we know and love. I am also a co-investigator on the SAVANT grant led by Linnaea Stockall, examining how morphological structures are processed across different language types. I co-head the Bengali/Bangla team. Apart from linguistics, I pass my time reading, writing, doing nerd things, taking photos, playing the harp, and picking up after my cats Sniffle and Olly. My last name is pronounced /tʃaˈkon/, please keep the <ó>. I use my first name and middle initial in citations, and he/him pronouns Photo credit Samantha Wray. https://www.lingdustin.net/research daily 0.75 2025-01-17 https://www.lingdustin.net/papers daily 0.75 2025-01-17 https://www.lingdustin.net/fasal_2024 daily 0.75 2024-04-03
