She studies word structure and its interfaces with sound and meaning in the Romance languages from a theoretical perspective. She occasionally works on Asian languages such as Chinese and Vietnamese. She is particularly interested in the methodological aspects of gaining knowledge and the possibilities of modeling findings on language systems, on languages in contact and on linguistic knowledge. Her publications include work on lexical semantics, on morpho-phonological variation and on the phonological integration of loanwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tsering Wangdue (Tibetan language consultant)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tsering Wangdue studied achariya (equivalent to a Master&#8217;s degree) in Tibetan culture and language at the Central University for Tibetan Studies (CUTS), Varanasi, India.

He has a particular interest in so-called \u201cminority languages\u201d. Throughout his university studies, he has been studying&nbsp;Cantonese, Classical Tibetan, and Modern Khalkha Mongolian. This linguistic journey led him to explore the Wutun language and culture. Giovanni spent five months studying at Renmin University of China (\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\u6c11\u5927\u5b66), during which he traveled extensively across north-west China. He also had the unique opportunity to visit the&nbsp;Wutun village in Tongren (Rebkong), Qinghai province. His dream is to become a photojournalist and researcher specializing in minority languages, traveling to discover and document minority cultures, customs, and traditions. He aims to learn these lesser-known languages to communicate authentically with local communities, deepen his cultural understanding, and contribute to preserving their linguistic heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Angelo Monni<\/strong> <strong>(Consultant GIS data visualization and mapping)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angelo Monni studied Geodesy and Geoinformatics at Leibniz University Hannover.
