Arienne Dwyer

[4] Her research is notable in arguing for the areal significance of Chinese Inner Asia as a Sprachbund, a region of language convergence.

[5] In 2014, her work led to her being named a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

[6][7] Dwyer received NSF funding for and directed Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang 2012), inviting Carlos Nash to be co-director.

[8][9] CoLang is an international training workshop in in situ language documentation supported by the National Science Foundation, convening in even years.

[10] Since 2010, her collaborative work has focused on sharing analyzed language resources, including a pilot website Interactive Inner Asia,[11] which provided some samples of language materials based on Dwyer's VW-DOBES project, and the Uyghur 2.0 website,[12] which includes the Uyghur Light Verbs project (on the diachrony of modern Uyghur complex predicates), and the Analyzing Turki Manuscripts Online (ATMO) project (creating digital editions of late eastern Chaghatay/early modern Uyghur language texts, with a focus on cultural and linguistic analysis of medical manuscripts, and social network analysis).
