Ph.D. candidate Charlotte Logan is part of the inaugural Cobell Dissertation Writing-Year Fellowship cohort. Her study "focuses on the linguistic analysis and documentation of the Cayuga language, a Haudenosaunee language. Logan, supported by a Cobell Summer Research Fellowship in 2021, transcribed and translated two stories in Cayuga with a fluent speaker from the Six Nations of the Grand River. Her dissertation, titled Cayuga Particles: Evidence from Narrative and Conversational Analysis, investigates the usage of particles in Cayuga storytelling, particularly focusing on a class of particles known as evidentiality markers."
