Dr. Mazzaro’s research explores the linguistic and social factors that govern language variation, the social meaning attached to different language variants, and the role of linguistic variation in identity construction. A second line of research investigates cross-linguistic effects in bilinguals’ perception and production of speech sounds. She also studies the linguistic landscape of multilingual/bilingual areas to understand the complex relationship between language use and prestige in coexisting speech communities inhabiting the territory.
