Research Fields	I am studying about unofficial languages (such as regional/ethnic languages, migrants’ languages, and Creole) in PALOP (Paises Africanos de Lingua Oficial Portuguesa) countries (including Equatorial Guinea), with a focus on West Africa, and the (multi-)language environments in which these languages are spoken, as well as the language policy or attitude of the government toward these languages.
