About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Linguistic and Cultural Evolution. My main research interests are linguistic typology, morphology, phonology, lexicology and historical linguistics. I have primarily worked with compiling and analysing lexical, typological and morphological data from languages in western Eurasia, with a particular focus on the Indo-European language family and the language families of the Caucasus, i.e. Kartvelian, Nakh-Dagestanian and Northwest Caucasian. My current research project investigates the effects of writing on language change from an evolutionary perspective.
