My research focuses primarily on issues in the structure of languages of the Algonquian family, the most widespread linguistic stock in North America. My specialty within this domain is Maliseet-Passamaquoddy, an Eastern Algonquian language spoken in New Brunswick (Maliseet) and Maine (Passamaquoddy).
In the 1980's, my work focused on the phonology of Passamaquoddy.
I have also been working on a series of studies of the syntax of Maliseet-Passamaquoddy, while occasionally venturing a look at another Eastern Algonquian language, Western Abenaki.
