Eva Rothenberg, who graduated from Emory College in 2021 with highest honors and degrees in linguistics and English, was awarded the 2024 Marshall scholarship. She will pursue two MAs in Applied Linguistics and a research MA in English Language and Applied Linguistics at the University of Birmingham, a pioneer in the field of corpus linguistics. Rothenberg was first introduced to the world of linguistics and corpus linguistic methods at Emory's Oxford Campus, immediatelyfalling in love with the field.
Beyond coursework, Rothenberg pursued a rich range of projects, including a computational analysis of British poetry that she later presented at an international conference, and stayed active on campus through roles at WMRE and the Writing Center. Her creativity and commitment to linguistic inquiry was evinced in many of her projects, including her transforming the upheaval of the Covid 19 pandemic into a rigorous and pertinent thesis that examined the language used in University reopening announcements in fall 2020.
Rothenberg continued her impressive track record after graduation, spending two years in CNN's editorial research department ensuring editorial integrity of the stories.
