Dr. Laziz Nchare is a theoretical linguist, and a field linguist actively invested in Linguistics- Anthropology research. He is also a French language lecturer who resides in New York City. He has studied various African languages and cultures. He came to New York University in 2006 with the McCracken Fellowship to complete his Ph.D. research in linguistics in 2012. His current research interests evolve around comparative grammar, languages and cultures of Africa, African writing systems and literacy, sociolinguistics and language acquisition experiments with the immigrant communities of New York. Dr. Nchare is currently working on a trilingual (English-French-Shupamom) illustrative grammar book and dictionary. He works with multilingual African immigrant kids to demonstrate that two or more languages are not too much for any child, and that our focus should be put on how to help the kids and ease their task of connecting words with objects. He is currently working on a major project designed to digitize the Bamum language and its scripts. The goal of this research enterprise is to apply the lessons of the rise and fall of relevant African civilizations to modern problems of the world economic system. He also teaches a language and culture class this fall the Department of Modern languages at St. John’s University. He has taught French courses in the past both at St. John’s University and Montclair State University (New Jersey).
