Chris Hammerly has been awarded an NSF Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement grant titled “The role of animacy and obviation in the processing of Ojibwe relative clauses.” Chris’s project investigates how the obviation system in Ojibwe is used by speakers to guide real-time language comprehension and production. This award will support him while he carries out this work in collaboration with the Mille Lacs community in Central Minnesota. Congratulations, Chris!
