Professor Erik Anonby

Erik Anonby is Professor of Linguistics and French at Carleton University. His research focuses on the importance of linguistic diversity in individual human experience and collective heritage. He studies ways in which language mapping can be designed to involve end users in language documentation, accommodate contrasting perspectives of language identity and language distribution, and refine visualizations of these perspectives using linguistic data corpuses. He is an active member of CELCE and GCRC (https://gcrc.carleton.ca), and with Kumiko Murasugi co-facilitates the Endangered Language Knowledge and Technology research group ELK-Tech (https://elk-tech.org). Anonby is also currently leading a research team with over 60 members in the Atlas of the Languages of Iran (ALI) research program (http://iranatlas.net)
