Personal profile

Biography

My research focuses on morphosyntax, semantics and pragmatics, and their interfaces; language documentation and description; and community-led language revitalisation and maintenance practices. I work in collaboration with a number of communities in Mid-West Western Australia and east Arnhem Land.

I completed my PhD at the ANU & U.Paris in 2020. My thesis Temporal, aspectual and modal expression in Anindilyakwa, the language of the Groote Eylandt Archipelago, Australia provides an empirically driven and theoretically informed examination of temporal, aspectual and modal expression in Anindilyakwa, the language spoken across the Groote Eylandt archipelago.

I am a lecturer in linguistics at Charles Darwin University and an honorary lecturer at the Australian National University.
