Email: dglick@binghamton.edu
(PhD University of Chicago 1998), Assistant Professor of Anthropology, is a linguistic anthropologist whose research focuses on language use in the constitution of meaning in social interaction. His methods are broadly semiotic and as such he draws on grammatical, sociolinguistic and discursive approaches to linguistic meaning. His research links the influences of gender, ethnicity and ideology to the general types of 'politeness' in use today in Modern Israeli Hebrew. In addition, he is carrying out research on the mass media both in Israel and the United States.
