Katherine Hodgson’s research interests include syntax, information structure, linguistic typology, historical linguistics, dialectology, and language documentation, particularly in connection with Armenian and Greek. She is currently working on the ERC-funded project Echoes of Vanishing Voices in the Mountains: a Linguistic History of Minorities in the Middle East. She has also carried out an ELDP-funded project documenting Zok, an endangered variety of Armenian, as well as extensive fieldwork on other dialects of Armenian and Greek, including Pontic Greek as spoken in Armenia.
