supervising professor, Jerold Edmondson, who gave encouragement, insight, and specific feedback over every part of this work. I am grateful for all your help and encouragement in my graduate career, and for starting me on the right path from the first laboratory phonology course, where I fell in love with experimental linguistics. Thank you to David Silva, who gave critical remarks to help polish the prose and make every paragraph follow a logical flow. I appreciate your attention to detail and your honest feedback in order to help me say what I intended to communicate. Thank you to Judy Kegl, our ASL researcher on the committee, who, despite many significant obstacles, took the time to give feedback and who encouraged me in many aspects of this work. Thanks to Laurel Stvan and Mark Ouellette, who also provided important feedback throughout the process, helping to shape this work. I also thank Ronnie Wilbur, who was not on my committee, yet still took me under her wing and gave me encouragement and guidance. I am grateful for your help and friendship. Finally, to my colleagues in the graduate school, especially Sarah Fauzi, Natalie Sears, Alicia Navarette, and Wenhua Jin, I say thank you for the friendships and encouragements through the years.
