About Me
I am an anthropological linguist working on the Indigenous languages of the Americas, particularly the Dene (Athapaskan) languages and Cerro Xinolate虂petl Totonac. I focus on the lexicon examining how it evolves over time and what that can tell us about language and culture history. My research is informed by Cognitive Linguistics and Cognitive anhropology. Given the current situation of Indigenous languages, much of my work has a language revitalization and maintenance aspect focusing on language teaching.
I consult language activists and communities on language revitalization, language planning, and materials development.
Please contact me if you require AV-equipment for language documentation and revitalization purposes. We have a limited number of recording devices that can be borrowed at no charge, and a mobile AV-recording unit for targeted recording.
