Biography
I am a community-based researcher with interests in phonological description, analysis and theory, syntax-phonology interface and phonetics. I have deep experience doing community-based research on endangered and under-resourced African languages. My approach to linguistic research involves considering language-external evidence for linguistic theory, so my research also focuses on language-music connections (e.g., talking drums) and language-based cultural aesthetics.
