Professor Lindsey’s research focuses on theoretical and documentary applications in linguistics. Her theoretical work analyzes underspecification and variation in phonological systems, primarily supported by field data from underdocumented and understudied languages. Her dissertation utilized original data from eleven months of fieldwork with Ende speakers in Limol village, Papua New Guinea, exploring the interaction of so-called ghost elements that are pervasive in Ende phonology. Current research projects include extended fieldwork in the South Fly area of Papua New Guinea to support a reference grammar of Ende, a typological study of the Pahoturi River language family, and theoretical analyses of vowel harmony and phonological reduplication.
