Gabriella Hermon

Gabriella Hermon is one of the leading experts in the syntax of the Austronesian languages of Indonesia and Malaysia. She is especially well known for her work on voice and question formation in the Malay spoken in rural Sumatra, but an additional important contribution is her participation in a large scale study of language acquisition by children in Jakarta. This study documents how children acquire Indonesian, and is one of the few such studies of language acquisition in major Asian languages.

She has published numerous articles in such major journals and Language, Linguistic Inquiry and Lingua.
