Biography

I鈥檓 a linguist and a fieldworker.  investigates the cross-linguistic articulation of syntax and semantics, especially on the extended verb phrase, which include phenomena like TAM (tense-aspect-modal) markers and applicative constructions.

I primarily draw on empirical insights from Javanese, a Malayo-Polynesian language of the Austronesian family spoken by about 70 million people in Indonesia. I have been conducting fieldwork in Indonesia since 2010, focusing on the varieties spoken in Yogyakarta and Semarang, Central Java, and Paciran, East Java.
