I am a PhD student in Linguistics at the University of Oregon and a director of the Aienla Project. My main interests in linguistics stem from the field of   Documentary/Descriptive linguistics because I strongly believe in the importance of documenting and describing the world's diverse languages before it's too late. Further, I believe it is only by a deep of understanding vastly divergent languages that we can contribute to theories of language in meaningful ways. Besides, what could be more fun than traveling around the world and studying languages? I will write a grammar of Kurtöp under the supervision of Scott DeLancey, for my dissertation.
