Ayoub Noamane successfully defended his dissertation “Patterns of Gemination in Moroccan Arabic: Issues in Phonology and Morphology” at Mohammed V University in Rabat on Saturday Nov. 10, 2018. Ayoub spent a year at UMass on a Fulbright fellowship, and his dissertation was co-supervised by Karim Bensoukas and Joe Pater. This continues a tradition: Karim Bensoukas was also a Fulbright visitor, and his dissertation was co-supervised by Lisa Selkirk. (Lisa and John McCarthy in fact travelled to Morocco for three defenses!). Congratulations Ayoub!
