Cassandra Caragine

I am a second year PhD student at the University of Maryland College Park. I am primarily interested in the phonetics, phonology, and morphology of understudied indigenous languages. Most of my work has centered around Tz'utujil, a Mayan language spoken in Guatemala, and Dagaare, a Mabia language spoken in Ghana. I use a combination of analytical and experimental methods looking at the speech of both children and adults to investigate phonology and its interfaces with phonetics and morphosyntax.
