I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Saskatchewan. My primary area of research explores questions pertaining to the production and perception of phonemic conflict sites (conflicting areas of phonological convergence) in mixed languages (and language contact in general); specifically relating to Media Lengua (Ecuador). As of late, and with the help of numerous colleagues, I've expanded these questions to other mixed languages; specifically Michif (Canada), Gurindji-Kriol (Australia), and Ma'a (Tanzania). In addition, I've been working with colleagues on a number of languages to document nasality phenomena using a new method developed by Martin Kolhberger and myself, which provides an effective means of gathering nasal data from the field [paper]. I also have several on-going projects that explore discourse phenomena in ASL; namely, sign lengthening and the identification of disfluencies in the visual-gestural modality).
