Linguistics and Teaching

I am currently working on my PhD in the Program in Applied Linguistics at Boston University, where I also received my master’s degree in linguistics.

My main areas of interest in linguistics are (broadly) discourse, pragmatics, semantics, and the phonetics-phonology interface. I am very interested in both corpus linguistics and computational linguistics and am a founding member of the group Computational Linguistics at Boston University.

I really enjoy teaching, and have done quite a bit of it, both in linguistics and in languages. Starting in the autumn of 2007, I am teaching English at Mittuniversitetet in Sweden. Before that, I taught (all or part of) the following classes at Boston College: Syntax and Semantics, Language in Society, Second Language Acquisition and Language and Language Types. Before that, I taught third-semester and fourth-semester Spanish for several years at Boston University. And before that, I taught English for several years in Portugal and Germany.

I enjoy studying all sorts of languages, but the ones I know best are English, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, German, and French.

My Curriculum Vitae is available on request.
