I am a senior lecturer at the department of Hebrew Language at Ben-Gurion University.
My research focuses on sociolinguistic variation in Modern Hebrew and its wider implications for sociolinguistic theory, and in particular, unpacking the complex interplay between ethnicity and stylistic variation. I mostly work in a theoretical framework of quantitative variationist sociolinguistics, focusing on sociophonetic variation, while incorporating insights from ethnographic and qualitative approaches. I also engage in qualitative research of the discursive construction of ethnic identity in Israel.
