Akua Campbell

Akua Campbell

Akua Campbell is a lecturer at the Department of Linguistics, University of Ghana. Her research areas are syntax, discourse analysis, and documentation of Ghanaian languages (especially Gã).

Her PhD dissertation was the grammar of her native Gã language at Rice University (2017). Her research in syntax has centred on the relationship between relative clauses, genitives and nominalizations, as well as the functions and diachronic development of future markers in Gã, and the syntactic and discourse features of motion expression in Gã. Her work in interpreting employs a discourse analytic approach to the study of interpreting accuracy in Ghanaian multilingual courtrooms.
