Why the Nephites Would Not Have Spoken Hebrew or Other Old World Languages in the New World

About Me

I am a software engineer and a linguist.  I hold a bachelor's degree in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Utah, a Master’s degree in linguistics from Francisco Marroquín University in Guatemala City and I am currently a PhD candidate at the Polytechnic University in the Department of Complex Systems in Madrid, Spain.

My research focuses on four areas: 

  • Artificial intelligence algorithms within historical linguistics and epigraphy.
  • Morphosyntax in Mesoamerican and Mesopotamian languages.
  • Linguistics of the Book of Mormon and early members within the LDS faith movement in the 19th century.
  • Linguistics and liberty. How language affects perceptions of liberty.
