About me

I am a sociolinguist and I have been a professor of languages for many years. I am also a professional interpreter / translator for the Federal Courts. I currently teach French at the University of Alabama, but I have also taught Spanish (undergraduate: lower and upper division) for many years.

Currently, I am a PhD Candidate in Romance Languages: Spanish and French Linguistics, and my second language acquisition methodology is based on teaching sociolinguistically through the top music globally. I use the vocabulary and grammar of the song lyrics to put the language in context, and I provide my translation into English for my students (available on TeachersPayTeachers.com under "Lengua es Cultura"). I end every class with a music video!

My doctoral dissertation compares the sociophonetics and the codemixing of the top two global music artists, Bad Bunny and J Balvin, in their spontaneous speech and in their artistic performances between 2018-2020. (1) I will determine whether they are holding to their regional varieties in their /s/ pronunciation in their spontaneous speech and in their artistic performances, or moving to a new standard. (2) I will identify their Spanish-English codemixing practices and how they compare in their spontaneous speech versus in their artistic performances. (3) I will identify the Spanish-English-French lyrical codemixing that is occurring in the two artists' top popular songs versus the lyrical codemixing in other artists' top popular songs. Please see my website for more information, and to see and hear the corpus of music videos and interviews: https://enhayes.people.ua.edu/

I am a balanced bilingual (both native speaker and academic level) of English and Spanish. I am a near-native speaker of French (I lived there and half of my PhD coursework is in French). Varying proficiency (conversational, can translate to/from, and/or have studied): Italian, Penninsular and Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Gallego, Asturiano, Valenciano, pretty much anything in Western Europe except for German and Basque, and in the Americas except for Quechua.

Proud linguistics NERD; I love love love to dance salsa / merengue / bachata / cumbia / reggaeton / etc. I also ADORE Francophone music, especially out of Marseille and North Africa; I love to travel, explore, eat new vegetarian foods, cook; I love cultures, languages, and connecting people through language.
