I’m a PhD candidate in #linguistics at #ubc. I mostly do #phonology and often ask questions from from the perspectives of #historicallinguistics and #sociolinguistics.

My main interests are Salish languages, non-concatenative #morphology , sub-phonemic (phonological structure and #phonetic variation), and #reduplication.

Outside of my work - I love #medieval and postmodern #literature.
