Appointment Start Date: 01/01/05
Appointment End Date: 12/31/06
Area of Specialty: My area of specialization is morphological theory. My principal areas of language specialization are the early Indic languages and the Breton language, though much of my work is typological in nature, and therefore draws upon evidence from a wide range of human languages.

Key Contributions: I have worked for several years on the development of an empirically motivated theory of inflection. I have presented this research at conferences, in invited lectures at a number of universities in the US and abroad, in several published articles, and in my book _Inflectional Morphology_ (Cambridge University Press, 2001).
