    Research and publications

    I am trying to produce the most useful possible index to my work (suggestions are welcome). You can find a list of my publications, organized (reverse) chronologically or topically. (So, for example, if you are trying to track down an uncited reference to "DeLancey 1986", the chronological list will quickly get you the possibilities). Just for fun, I've also provided a list of my favorites.

    Below I have a list of my general areas of research, which can serve as a rough index to the topically-organized list of publications.
