Notable work

Anonby is known for the development of the multi-dimensional model of language classification.[3] In this model, relationships between languages are explicitly distinguished as genealogical (genetic), structural/typological, and social, and brought together in a composite relational web.[4] Along with Adam Stone, he also developed the Evaluative Language Mapping Typology (ELM-T),[5] a tool for analyzing and constructing language maps.[6]

Anonby is a Humboldtian, having received the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s[7] Fellowship for Experienced Researchers in 2016.[8] In 2021, he was elected to the Royal Society of Canada’s [9] College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists.[10]
