My work focuses on the languages of Siberia, especially on the Northern Tungusic languages Even and Negidal, for which I have collected oral corpora in several field trips to different villages in Yakutia, on Kamchatka, and in the Lower Amur region of Russia. The major themes that interest me are language contact, the description of typologically interesting morphosyntactic features of the languages that I study, and the documentation of endangered languages.
I began my academic life as a molecular anthropologist, with a PhD thesis (defended in 2001 at the Faculty of Biology at Hamburg University, Germany) on the genetic prehistory of the Turkic-speaking Sakha (Yakuts). I then continued my work on the Sakha at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, trying to elucidate the role that language and population contact played in their (pre)history. For this, I analysed linguistic and genetic data that I had collected myself during fieldwork in the Republic Sakha (Yakutia), resulting in a thesis that I defended in 2007 at the Faculty of Letters, University of Leiden, Netherlands.
From 2007 through 2011 I had the opportunity to extend this interdisciplinary research beyond the rather narrow confines of my personal research in Siberia by leading the independent Max Planck Research Group on Comparative Population Linguistics at the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology. With this group, which comprised molecular anthropologists, linguists, and a social anthropologist, I undertook research projects – often in collaboration with scientists at other institutions – on population and language contact in Africa, Siberia, and Melanesia.
Since joining the CNRS as a “Directrice de Recherche” (Senior Scientist, equivalent to a research professorship) in 2012, where I work in the research unit Dynamique du Langage in Lyon, I have moved steadily away from molecular anthropology towards descriptive and documentary linguistics. However, I continue to be interested in what genetics can teach us about human prehistory, especially that of Southern Africa, for which I collaborate with other researchers.
