- Biography
Stephanie Lindemann joined the Department of Applied Linguistics at GSU in 2001 after receiving her Ph.D. in linguistics at the University of Michigan in 2000. She is a sociolinguist whose research interests focus on the native speaker in native–non-native interaction. Much of her work investigates how listeners’ attitudes or beliefs about speakers affect the success of their communication with those speakers. Her recent work has focused on developing and assessing training that improves people’s skills, strategies, and openness to communication with people from varied linguistic backgrounds, especially helping native speakers with comprehension of non-native varieties. She has published in a number of journals including Language in Society, International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Journal of Second Language Pronunciation, and Language Learning.
