My research interests include language contact phenomena, language variation and change, and child language acquisition. I am currently studying language shift and the emergence of a new bilingual mixed language, Light Warlpiri, in northern Australia, the result of processes of contact between an Australian language, Warlpiri, and English and Kriol (an English-lexified creole).
