Lelia Glass

I am an Associate Professor of Linguistics in the School of Modern Languages at Georgia Tech.  

New: I just got tenure! I am incredibly grateful to my mentors, role models, letter-writers, colleagues, students, friends, family, and everyone who has made it absolutely lovely to be part of our field. See my longer LinkedIn post (with photos!) here.

I work on lexical semantics (word meaning), compositional semantics (sentence meaning), pragmatics (inferences drawn in context), and sociolinguistics (how people use language in their social identity), from an empirically rich perspective.  I am particularly interested in how our knowledge of the (physical, social) world affects our interpretation of language.

If you are a Georgia Tech undergraduate student seeking research experience, you are welcome to join my Vertically Integrated Project about sociophonetics.

Here is my CV and here is my Google Scholar profile.

For third-person reference, please feel free to use the pronunciation [liliə glæs] and the pronoun she.

Outside of linguistics, I am proud to be a runner (with type 1 diabetes) and a mom.
