 PhD candidate Anne Peng has received a U.S. Student Fulbright research grant for 2012-2013 to Indonesia. Her goal is to collect and transcribe naturalistic recordings of Indonesian Teochew, an unstudied
Chinese language spoken by the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia. The naturalistic data will allow her to further examine the syntax of Indonesian Teochew which has been influenced by the surrounding unrelated Malay languages. The UDaily article is here.

Anne Peng is advised by Dr. Peter Cole.
