CV

Jeff Siegel received his PhD in Linguistics from the Australian National University in 1985, and is currently Adjunct Professor at the University of New England in Australia. He has more than 30 years of university teaching experience not only in Australia but also in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Hawai‘i. His main area of research is on language contact varieties such as pidgins, creoles, indigenized varieties, and immigrant koines, and he has published extensively on Melanesian Pidgin, Hawai‘i Creole and Fiji Hindi. The research, which has been funded by both the Australian Research Council and the National Science Foundation (USA), spans both theoretical and applied areas, from the origins of the linguistic features of contact varieties to the use of pidgins, creoles and unstandardised varieties in formal education. Jeff was founding director of the Charlene Sato Center for Pidgin, Creole and Dialect Studies at the University of Hawai‘i, and now serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages and Te Reo.
