Gabriel H. Gilbert is a third-year linguistics Ph.D. student. As both community member and linguist, his research focuses on theoretical and practical questions related to ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian), particularly those related to language revitalization concerns. Broadly, his work asks (a) how to bridge the variationist sociolinguistic paradigm with the areas of language contact and shift, especially in Indigenous and revitalizing languages; and (b) theoretical questions, both synchronic and diachronic, in the area of Austronesian morphosyntax and semantics. Gabriel received his B.A. in both linguistics and Indigenous Studies at Dartmouth College in 2023.
