Jeff Heath has done many years of field research on Australian languages (1970's), Maghrebi Arabic (1980's), and since 1990 on languages of interior West Africa. He is currently involved in a project on Dogon languages using up-to-date technology. His special interests are morphology-centered (nonmodular) grammar, the incorporation of prosody (tone, accent, and intonation) into grammar, and cognitive anthropological linguistics (especially of the lexicon). He also teaches courses on advertising.
