My PhD thesis (available in PDF format only, 2 MB) looked ataspects of the syntax of Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), from the viewpoint of Lexical-Functional Grammar.
Between 2001 and 2003, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Leiden in the Spinoza Project: Lexiconand Syntax developing the typological database which is a part of the project.In that project, I also researched some issues in comparative syntax oflanguages from Eastern Indonesia.
From mid 2003 until 2007, I was an ARC post-doctoral fellow in theLinguistics Program, School of Languages, Culturesand Linguistics at Monash. I worked on the project Cross-linguistic studyof endangered Maluku languages: Eastern Indonesiaand the Dutch diaspora with Dr Margaret Florey and Dr Michael Ewing. Within the project, Iworked on documentation of the language spoken in the villages of Tulehu , Tial, Tengah-tengah, Liang andWaai.
Current research projects include an investigation of knowledge ofendangered languages amongst the Sudanese community in Melbourne(with Prof. John Hajek, University of Melbourne)and projects looking at issues in medical communication in interculturalsettings. I am also a member of the steering committee of the AusNC (Australian National Corpus) initiative.
