Jessica Kantarovich studies language contact, language shift, and sociolinguistic variation, with a strong focus on indigenous and minority languages of Northeastern Siberia (such as Chukchi and Yukaghir) as well as heritage languages spoken by immigrant communities (such as Lithuanian and Russian). Her work examines how languages change grammatically and phonetically when speakers are bilingual or shifting away from a heritage language, drawing on both fieldwork-based documentation and sociolinguistic theory. This research is relevant to students interested in linguistic diversity, endangered languages, and how social and community factors shape language structure over time.
