hello!
Did you know that in Idi, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea, there are different words for hello depending on the distance between the two speakers?

Although I'm typing this in Boston
- and you may be anywhere in the world - this virtual interaction between the two of us allows for the closest of the hellos:
mer yebdo!


Mer yebdo! My name is Kate.
I'm an Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Boston University and I specialize in the documentation and preservation of languages like Idi. I invite you to explore my thoughts on research, teaching and service, or catch up with me by visiting my academic & travel news.
