My name is Richard Griscom. I am a graduate student in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Oregon and my research focuses on language documentation and description, with an emphasis on the languages of East Africa.
My current work is focused on the documentation of Asimjeeg Datooga (Southern Nilotic, Tanzania), through a grant sponsored by the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme. Previously I have conducted original research on elements of diachronic syntax in the Luo (Western Nilotic) and Koman families and the phonology of Maa (Eastern Nilotic).
