SEALS 27

It has been a busy month for academic presentations. In early May, Living Tongues South Asia Project Coordinator Dr. Bikram Jora gave two joint presentations at the Twenty Seventh Meeting of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society (SEALS 27) in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia.

The first paper, in collaboration with linguist Luke Horo, was entitled Phonetic realisation of a Schwa like vowel “x” in Santali and the next, in collaboration with Living Tongues Director Dr. Gregory D. S. Anderson, was entitled Introduction to Birhor verb morphology.
