Research Interests

I am interested in syntax, semantics, and morphology.

I work on Algonquian languages (particularly Mi'kmaq, Maliseet-Passamaquoddy, and Blackfoot) and Tsimshianic languages (particularly Gitksan). I have also investigated Oceanic languages, including Marshallese, Paici, and Rotuman.

I am particularly interested in formal and computational approaches to linguistic theory.

I am a member of the UBC Algonquian Research Group, which is currently working on the interesting pan-Algonquian phenomenon of 'initial change'.
