I'm Thomas Wier, a graduate student in the department of
Linguistics at the
University of Chicago. I am a morphosyntactician by trade, specializing in
voice,
case assignment and
agreement, as well as feature theory though in a former life I was a
phonologist. I work on two languages most closely:
Meskwaki and
Georgian, constituting two members of the natural class that we linguists technically call "crazy" languages. In addition to these languages, I have studied the ones you see to the right in the Babel-box, and I have some proficiency in
Lak and
Akkadian.
