M.A in Linguistics, National Taiwan Normal University (2023~ ). Linguistic typology, functional theories of grammar, Austronesian languages (Seediq) and Tibeto-Burman languages (Jinghpaw, Pa’O)
The Institute of Linguistics at Academia Sinica is looking for a tenure(d/-track) position right now.

And, out of personal wish, if you specialize in Tibeto-Burman languages and want to experience life in Taiwan, this is a great opportunity!

Coming back here every once in a while, trying to see if the linguistics circle has been thriving here or not.

My first ever journal paper! Terrified but so excited to see it in print. This is for the underdogs: Batanic langs & oblique case. Turns out the oblique does more and the locative does less than we think! Happy to bring Batanic to the fore of Austronesian linguistics! doi.org/10.1515/stuf...
