Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

I am interested in Bantu morphology and phonology. I conduct fieldwork in Tanzania on Kihehe, adding to descriptive knowledge about the language. Using data from my fieldwork, I am analyzing a pattern in Kihehe verbal morphology where a tense marker occurs outside of a subject marker. Cross-linguistically, subject markers tend to be farther from the root than TAM, so the order in Kihehe is unexpected.
