CURRENT RESEARCH

Washo Language Documentation
I work in the University of Chicago Phonology Lab on The Washo Project. My work includes parsing utterances, glossing morphemes, and transcribing recordings. I am currently working on a joint project with Professor Alan Yu on vowel length, quality and phonotactics in Washo.

I am also studying the morpho-syntax of bipartite verb structure in Washo. Here are the slides from my talk "A compositional approach to bipartite stems in Washo" at SSILA 2010.
