Assistant Professor of Linguistics at San Diego State University.

Professor Bigham's research in sociolinguistics investigates the mechanisms of dialect contact and accommodation among speakers in the emerging adulthood stage of life. He focuses on the ways that intergroup cooperation and conflict can give rise to linguistic variation and on the importance of recognizing sexuality as an aspect of speaker gender. He specializes in phonetics, the social-psychology of language, queer linguistics, and public outreach in linguistics.
