My research

My primary research interests are in language description, language documentation, and typology. I am particularly interested in the Masa languages, a branch within the Chadic division of the Afroasiatic phylum. 

I completed my PhD in 2024 at Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) as a MINI-ARC research fellow. 

PhD dissertation: A morphosyntactic description of Gizey (Chadic)

My current research focusses on the interpretation of temporal particles: words that contribute temporal meaning while lacking the typical features of verbs and adverbs.
