Hi, thanks for stopping by!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m a 1st year PhD student at University of California, Santa Barbara.
I actually started out my academic career in Ecology. I’ve always been fascinated with system whether they happen to be ecological or linguistic. It’s so much fun for me to work with giant puzzles, trying to figure out how the different pieces interact. I think that’s partially why I’m attracted to language documentation. While I’m interested in morphology, language contact and historical linguistics, I really enjoy how language documentation challenges every aspect of your knowledge.
I’m currently finishing a master’s thesis dealing with the morphology of plant names in Ojibwe/Anishinaabemowinand their relationship to the theories of folk taxonomies, so if you would like to share any insights or ask any questions, I’d love to hear them!
