Research topic
I currently work on synchronic and diachronic descriptions of a distinct Tibetic languages spoken in southwestern in China. I have recorded and described the Malimasa dialect of Naxi (2016), the mdzod.dge(མཛོད་དགེ།) dialect of Amdo Tibetan which is spoken in northern Sichuan Province (2017), and the Ya.ri.rgyud (ཡ་རུ་རྒྱུད།) dialect of Amdo Tibetan which is spoken in Gansu Province (2019). At present, I am focusing on a endangered distinct Tibetic language called Ridwags which is used in southern Gansu Province. My PhD project is to discribe and document Ridwags Tibetan from the perspective of phonology and typology. At the same time, from the perspective of historical linguistics, the kinship system of the Tibetic languages will be further analyzed.
