Richard J. File-Muriel is an Associate Professor of Hispanic Linguistics in the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at the University of New Mexico, USA. He holds a PhD from Indiana University. His research focuses on how frequency of use impacts the production and perception of language, specifically the sound patterns that we observe in popular speech. He conducts much of his research in Colombia, for which he was awarded a Fulbright in 2013 at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. His current research models individual variation in sound patterns, which is often overlooked in sociolinguistics research.
