As a native speaker of Navajo and a linguist, my research focus has been and will continue to be on the Navajo language.
Currently I am working on a pilot study with Joyce McDonough (U of Rochester) to get a glimpse of morphological knowledge that native speakers of Navajo might possess. Most of the data for this study comes from my accumulated data of speech and written errors of my students at this university and the University of New Mexico.
I also continue to work on my teaching text for Navajo. |
