Specialisms

Linguists in ILLS conduct research in most areas of linguistics and language study, taking an active interest in an unusually wide range of theoretical models.  Some of our principal research areas are:

• field linguistics and language documentation (Faller, Kim, Koontz-Garboden, Matras, Sagna, Schultze-Berndt)
• typology (Faller, Kim, Koontz-Garboden, Matras,  Sagna, Schultze-Berndt)
• syntax (Bentley, Börjars, Denison, Koontz-Garboden, Mosegaard Hansen, Matras, Payne, Schultze-Berndt, Vincent)
• language contact and creoles (Bachmann, Matras, Schultze-Berndt)
• sociolinguistics, dialectology (Bachmann, Baki, Baranowski, Durrell, Matras, Schleef, Yáñez-Bouza)
• historical linguistics (Bentley, Bermúdez-Otero, Börjars, Denison, Durrell, Kim, Lappin, Matras, Mosegaard Hansen, Vincent, Whitt, Yáñez-Bouza)
• phonetics and phonology (Baranowski, Bermúdez-Otero, Brockhaus-Grand, Kim)
• morphology (Bermúdez-Otero, Börjars, Durrell, Kim, Koontz-Garboden, Matras, Payne, Vincent)
• semantics, pragmatics (Bennett, Bentley, Faller, Koontz-Garboden, Mosegaard Hansen, Nyan, Payne,  Schultze-Berndt, Whitt)
• corpus and computational linguistics (Bennett, Denison, Mosegaard Hansen, Scheible, Somers, Whitt, Yáñez-Bouza)
