Erez Volk's Homepage

I teach linguistics (phonology and fieldwork) at Tel Aviv University and Ben Gurion University. My PhD (2011) is from Tel Aviv University. I am also a translator and a software engineer. Interests (in linguistics): phonology, morphology, tone, Bantu languages, descriptive linguistics.

There isn't much here right now. All files are PDFs.

My (academic) CV, last updated April 2011.
Here is my PhD dissertation, entitles "Mijikenda Tonology". Comments are most welcome!
My 2007 MA thesis on Giryama tonology. You can also get the Hebrew abstract.
My PhD research proposal (approved June 18, 2008) on Mijikenda tonology.
Some handouts:
- "Hidden Highs and Phonological Phrasing in Mijikenda", a talk given at the Berlin Bantu Conference (B4ntu), April 7-9, 2011.
- "Depression as Register: Evidence from Mijikenda" a talk given at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society (BLS 37), February 12-13, 2011.
- The handout on tone in Mijikenda for The 38th Colloquium on African Languages and Linguistics at Leiden University, August 2008.
Translations:
- Here are three poems by Hanoch Levin, which I translated into English with the help of my wife, Karine.
- Hebrew translations of some short stories by Chekhov. I did these for my own amusement while I was studying Russian and before I started to translate professionally; they are deliberately somewhat archaic.
- A translation of Chekhov's The Seagull. Some more plays here.
- Some reviews of my work as a translator (in Hebrew). (Not all are rave reviews, I'm afraid).
