Current
Research:
My new research project is a three-year plan to document
the Chimiini language with a reference grammar, collection of texts,
and digitally archived material. The project is funded by the NEH via
the NEH/NSF Documenting Endangered Languages program (ID #PD-50009-09).
Chimiini is a Bantu language of Somalia with fewer than 15,000
speakers, most of whom are scattered across the globe in refugee
communities due to Somalia's continuing civil unrest. This summer I
will be collecting data in Atlanta, GA.
In addition, I continue to work on issues concerning agreement and
movement in Bantu languages and have recently also worked on object
marking in Tigre, an Ethio-Semitic language.
