George-Michael Pescaru

I am a PhD candidate working on a novel, distributed representation of language that can be used to facilitate models of language acquisition. In the past, I have also been interested in metatheoretical questions involving phonology and/or agent-based modeling, as well as less meta interests in how true and false beliefs diffuse through a population, the development of in-group markers in language, more general issues of language change, and - in economics, but dealing with very similar themes - theories of capital accumulation and rational expectations. Recently, I have served as an Associate Editor for three volumes of the Coyote Papers, the Arizona Linguistics Department's student journal.
