Hi, I'm Colin Brown. I am a SSHRC Postdoctoral Scholar at UBC Linguistics.

I received my PhD from the Department of Linguistics at UCLA.

I am interested in the interaction between syntax, semantics, and morphology. The empirical basis of my research comes from novel fieldwork on understudied languages, primarily Sm'algyax and Gitksan (Tsimshianic, Canada/USA) and more recently, Mam (Mayan, Guatemala/Mexico).

Topics I work on include the morphosyntax of A'-movement, the semantics of non-canonical questions, and the linearization of sentential clitics.
