About me

SMM_aboutme.png
A map from the Atlas of pidgin and creole language structures showing the distribution of interrogative pronouns (‘who’, ‘where’, ‘when’, and ‘how’) across the world's pidgin and creole languages. In many languages there are compound expressions, such as 'which person', 'what place', 'what hour', 'what manner' or similar. From the first through the last value, languages show an increasing amount of compound expressions, and thus an increasing degree of distance from the European lexifiers.

I am a comparative linguist interested in the typology of creole languages and sign languages, language contact, and language change. I am best known for coediting the Atlas of pidgin and creole language structures (2013).
