Ashwini Deo is originally from India where she studied social work, linguistics, and traditional Sanskrit grammar. She is currently a graduate student in linguistics at Stanford with interests in historical linguistics, morphology, syntax-semantics interface, and the semantics of tense and aspect categories. Her dissertation brings together all these interests.
Deo’s dissertation investigates linguistic evidence from synchronic variation in standard and non-standard Indo-Aryan languages to trace a diachronic path for the evolution of the tense-aspect system in the Indo-Aryan language family.
