I'm a linguist working on languages of North America, particularly Cherokee/ᏣᎳᎩ (Iroquoian), Zapotec and Tlapanec/Mè'phàà (Otomanguean). I'm especially interested in phonology, morphology, and morphosyntax of these languages, both from synchronic and diachronic, and from descriptive/typological and theoretical perspectives.
