About

Martin is in his third year as a PhD student in Linguistics. His research centres around language contact and language endangerment in southern Africa, focusing on varieties of ‘non-standard’ Afrikaans, and Khoekhoe ('Khoisan') languages.

He is more broadly interested in the mutual influences between regionally dominant languages (Afrikaans, Bantu languages) and the 'Khoisan' languages, and patterns in language attrition. Martin is also interested in more anthropological aspects—folklore and stories—of the communities he has worked with.

He is currently working on his Qualifying Research Paper which explores acoustic correlates of obstruent voicing in Orange River Afrikaans.
