Anthony Jukes (Research Centre for Linguistic Typology, La Trobe University) is Public Officer of the Resource Network for Linguistic Diversity. He has conducted linguistic research on languages of Sulawesi, Indonesia. His PhD thesis (University of Melbourne, 2006) is a reference grammar of Makassarese (South Sulawesi), with special attention to the literary genre contained in manuscripts written in an obsolete local script.
Between 2005 and 2007 Anthony was a post-doctoral research fellow at the School of Oriental and African Studies, UK, supported by the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme. His research project was to document and describe Toratán (Ratahan), a highly endangered language spoken by about 150 people in a handful of villages located in North Sulawesi. The main goal was to create a digital corpus of annotated recordings, hosted at the Endangered Languages Archive.
Anthony has been involved in training for language documentation in the UK, Indonesia, and Japan; and is currently working on further research projects in Indonesia.
