Sean Nonnenmacher, a Ph.D. student in sociolinguistics at the University of Pittsburgh, is continuing his research on Armenian dialect variation this summer with a Title VIII Fellowship from the U.S. State Department. A two-time Title VIII Fellow, Sean began this work last summer in Yerevan, the Armenian capital, by interviewing approximately 30 native speakers of Eastern Armenian and completing linguistics tasks with each. In February 2019, he defended his first comprehensive paper based on this fieldwork, entitled "Who says you can't teach an old affix new tricks? Rethinking derived reciprocity in Armenian." Sean is currently translating 19th and 20th century descriptions of Armenian dialects (or barbarner) into English for continued analysis of the reciprocal system (roughly equivalent to "each other" or "one another" constructions in English) and other aspects of the language's rich morphology.
