Presentation

I am a Venezuelan-Costa Rican PhD candidate based in Paris. My fields of interest are linguistic typology, descriptive linguistics, linguistic documentation and linguistic revitalization of endangered languages. I am particularly interested in the languages of the Pacific (Papua New Guinea) and the amerindian languages of South-America (Arawak family). My specific research interests are nominal morphology, verbal number (pluractionality), typology of adnominal possessive constructions (inalienability, absolute/construct for of nouns) and tonal systems. I am also interested in methods of linguistic fieldwork and innovative ways of data elicitation, and I am in favour of a serious collaborative and inclusive data analysis with the speakers of the language under research. I am also very sensitive to the subject of language death, linguicide and glottophagy. I am currently doing my PhD under contract at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3 in Paris, France. My research laboratory is Langues et Civilisations à Tradition orale (LACITO) which is part of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) at its complex in Villejuif. My PhD supervisor is Sebastian Fedden (Paris 3). My PhD dissertation is "A grammar of Kibiri: A critically endangered isolate and rarely spoken language of Papua New Guinea". Kibiri is a poorly known language known (but rarely spoken) by 32 people in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea, at Kikori, Kekea 1, Doibo, Veiru and Babeio villages.
