My name is Lev Michael, and I am a professor in the Linguistics department at the University of California, Berkeley. My research focuses on Amazonian languages, and I am particularly interested in language documentation and description, typology, language contact and areal linguistics, comparative and historical linguistics of Amazonian languages, socially strategic uses of language and culture-driven grammaticalization, language revitalization, and language politics. I have worked with speakers of Aʔɨwa (isolate), Iquito (Zaparoan), Máíhɨ̃̀kì (Tukanoan), Matsigenka (Arawakan), Muniche (isolate), Nanti (Arawakan), Omagua (Tupí-Guaraní), and Záparo (Zaparoan). Much of my work is available via my webpage.
This very neglected blog was named Greater Blogazonia until I started writing here again in 2021. No post or comments were deleted when I renamed it Amazonian Linguistics.
I can be reached at firstnamellastname@berkeley.edu
Have you considered listing an email address? Anyway, feel free to delete this comment when you’ve read it; this is simply to notify you of a post of mine on Zotero. As you’ve written on research software before, I thought you might be interested.
Thanks for the heads up, Mark. And yes, I suppose it *would* be a good idea to list an email address. I have been paranoid about getting spammed as a result, but I’ll give it a try, and see what happens
Don’t list the full address, though! There are lots of ways to put it so that your conspecifics will understand it, but spambots won’t.
Hi, my name is Ben, and I’m from the lexiophiles.com blog. I wanted to inform you that we published a list of the top 250 language blogs a short time ago, and we ranked your blog number 105 on our list! We have a short description of your blog on the website; we would appreciate if you could check it out and see if it is correct. If not we can modify it :)
Best,
Ben Valembois
