I am a
PhD student in Linguistics at the University of Oregon
and a director of the Aienla Project. Broadly, my
research interests are in syntax, phonology, typology, and language
documentation/description. These interests are motivated by a desire to
understand what universals and socio-cultural-historical processes are at
play in forming the synchronic system of a given language. Geographically,
I have conducted fieldwork in Mexico, India and Bhutan, with a particular
interest in the Tibeto-Burman languages of Bhutan and Northeast India. Methodologically,
I like to collect data from endangered and otherwise unstudied languages and
ground the analyses in replicable experiments and/or large corpora. My
Dissertation (expected June, 2010) will be a grammar of Kurtöp, a
Tibeto-Burman language of Bhutan. |
