Interests: Linguistic anthropology, cognitive grammar,
Tagalog, Coeur d'Alene, Shona; North America, Africa.
Filipino verbs communicate Austronesian notions of
experience and possibility. Bantu noun classes reveal the
cultural bases of categorization. Salish languages frame
indigenous understandings of the American Northwest.
Thus, cross-linguistic studies of grammar yield startling
insights into non-Western thought. Cultural linguistics
examines form and content as confluent patterns of cognition,
culture, history and discourse.
