My research centers around suprasegmental phonological phenomena -- like nasality, tone and harmony -- at the interfaces with phonetics and morphosyntax, with a particular commitment to language documentation, description and revitalization. I work with corpora of primary data, usually collected through fieldwork, mostly in West Africa. For every topic I investigate, I take a broader look at the issue: How can our understanding of this phenomenon be informed by diachronic change, areal patterns, formal theories, and language-internal synchronic patterns?Â
