Floating Tone

I'm a PhD candidate in linguistics, with diverse interests including phonetics, phonology, morphology, language documentation, historical linguistics and sociolinguistics. I am particularly interested in the languages of Africa, Papua New Guinea and Australia. I'm also very interested in methods of making linguistic knowledge and materials more accessible and available to linguists and non-linguists alike.
