Jacob Kodner is a first-year graduate student in the Department of Linguistics at Harvard University. His research interests span theoretical syntax and its interfaces with morphology and phonology, with an emphasis on Altaic languages including Korean, Mongolian, and Manchu. His recent work includes an OT-based implementation of the prosodification of converbs in Korean, as well as a morpho-phonological account of word-formation strategies in Uyghur — the latter of which he will be presenting at this year’s Workshop on Turkic and Languages in Contact with Turkic. In addition to his theoretical work, he has conducted documentation work with a handful of endangered languages, including Manchu and Judeo-Iranian languages.
