Biography:
My name is Alexandra Bogle. I am a second-year student majoring in Linguistics and Spanish with a minor in TESOL. Outside of school, I play for Penn State Club Softball, and I love to travel. I cannot wait for the opportunity to experience Mexico through the PIRE program!
Project Summary
Since my second semester at Penn State, I have been working in the lab with Professor Matthew Carlson. For my PIRE project, which focuses on cognate roots shared between the English and Spanish languages, I am traveling to the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City. While there, I will be studying the connections between words, and parts of words, across languages in the minds of bilinguals, and how this might lead to differences in how bilinguals recognize complex words.
