J. Michael Terry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with adjunct status in the Department of African, African American, and African Diaspora Studies. His research focuses on the semantics of tense and aspect in dialects of American English, particularly African American English (AAE), examining how temporal relations are expressed through linguistic structures.
His work integrates diverse methodologies to address topics such as style-shifting in African American adolescents, the interplay between structural and social meaning, and the impact of dialectal differences on AAE-speaking 2nd graders' mathematical reasoning test performance. While no specific grants, awards, or articles are listed here, his interdisciplinary approach bridges linguistics with education and sociology.
