Eline Visser
I'm a postdoctoral researcher (Wenner-Gren Fellow, funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundations). I work on clausal organisation in Uruangnirin, an Austronesian language of eastern Indonesia. I'm part of the project group Where does grammar come from?
I'm also a member of the Serial Verb Constructions across modalities research group at the University of Amsterdam.
Background
Previously, I worked on Scandinavian prosody in the ExSynOp project at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
My PhD is from Lund University (Sweden), for which I wrote a grammar of Kalamang, a Papuan language of eastern Indonesia and a neighbour language of Uruangnirin.
