These accolades are a great start to Rebekah鈥檚 experience as a beginning researcher in Linguistics and a clear indicator of her interest and passion. The 2022 LSURC was her very first research conference presentation, and her award-winning paper was the first linguistics paper she had ever written.  

For Rebekah, writing 鈥淭he Perception of Quantifier Raising in Japanese-English Bilinguals鈥� was a joy: 鈥淚 really enjoyed writing it because the topic combined semantics and syntax鈥攎y favourite linguistic disciplines鈥攚ith Japanese, my favourite foreign language to study鈥�.  

As a result of attending the LSURC, Rebekah had the chance to listen to the research of other undergraduate Linguistics students, and also get feedback on her own work. 鈥淭he feedback I received was always very constructive and helped me improve both the clarity of my writing as well as the strength of my analysis鈥�.

Rebekah also had the opportunity to converse with Linguist , who was cited in Rebekah鈥檚 paper! 鈥渋t was a shocking experience to virtually meet someone I had cited in my references list鈥攊t鈥檚 a small world!鈥�
