First, I would like to thank my readers, Professors Anthony Webster and Courtney Handman, for their guidance and comments on multiple drafts of my work. They not only provided insightful ideas, but also challenged me to think through my analysis in ways that have made this work as well as other projects much stronger. In addition, the comments and suggestions provided by Professors Elizabeth Keating, Iraide Ibarretxe-Atuñano, Danny Law, James Slotta and Barbra Meek helped me rethink my analysis in new and productive ways. Finally, this MA would not have been made possible without the valuable insights, guidance and support of Professor Itxaso Rodriguez-Ordoñez. I would also like to thank my linguistic anthropology graduate student friends, among them Hannah Foster, Aniruddhan Vasudevan, Qui’chi Patlan, Krishantha Fedricks and Nelson Yang, not only for their endless and insightful comments on my work, but also for their mentorship, encouragement and support through the process; a special thanks to Ani and Hannah for their continuous insightful edits to many drafts! Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for their love, encouragement and support.
