Who am I?

Good question. Here's the nearest I can figure it:

I am...

an American living and working in Sweden
a teacher, currently teaching English and linguistics at Uppsala University
a linguist, with a wide range of research interests
a computer programmer, working primarily on projects related to linguistics
a writer, translator, and editor, working on all kinds of stuff
a great lover of languages, particularly Romance and Germanic languages
a photographer of little renown
a generally fun-loving fellow

A random pic for you:

Writing Site

I have created a website dedicated to improving learners' writing in English: Gregory's Writing Site. Feel free to take a look.

Reference Checker

If you write academic papers, feel free to try out my Reference Checker. It's a free online tool for cross-checking all the references in a paper with the bibliography. It has even been called "one of the best things you can find on the internet" (and not by me)!

CenDiPede

I have a new website, cendipede.org, which will present the product of my doctoral thesis project, the Corpus-Derived Profiles framework, and the Java implementation of the framework, known as CenDiPede. Check it out if you're interested in studying word meaning in corpora.

Dexter

I'm the creator of Dexter, a suite of software tools for the analysis of linguistic data. It's free software that helps you do detailed analyses of spoken or written texts. Feel free to try it out!
