Caleb Everett

Caleb Everett is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Miami's College of Arts and Sciences. His research explores cognitive, cultural, and linguistic diversity through interdisciplinary approaches including fieldwork in Amazonia, computational analyses, and experimental methods.

Research interests focus on how language structures reflect and influence human cognition, with emphases on numerical cognition, phonetics, and cross-cultural communication patterns. Key areas include linguistic relativity, sound system adaptations to physiological constraints, and cultural influences on perceptual categorization.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on language-cognition interfaces, particularly in understudied populations. Recent work investigates articulatory biomechanics, speech aerosol dynamics relevant to disease transmission, and prehistoric phonology reconstruction.
