LIVING TONGUES VICE PRESIDENT
Dr. K. David Harrison,
Ph.D.
Assistant
Professor of Linguistics at
Swarthmore College
and Director of Research for the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages. His research
focuses on endangered and little-documented languages, with
primary emphasis on Turkic languages of Inner Asia (Central
Siberia and Western Mongolia). To date, he has investigated
Tuvan, Tsengel Tuvan, Tofa, Ös (Middle Chulym), Tuha (Dukha),
and Monchak. In 2005, he began fieldwork on three Munda
languages of Northeast India, in 2006 on the Siletz Dee-ni
language of Oregon, and in 2007 on the Kallawaya language of
Bolivia.
As a
theoretician, David focuses on phonology (sound structures) and
morphology (word structures). As a field linguist, he adopts the
position that languages exist solely within a cultural matrix,
and must be studied holistically and in their natural context.
This means that in addition to studying abstract structures in
the mind (such as grammar), he is keenly interested in what
people have to say and how languages shape the structure of
human knowledge.
