General information about me or the site

Teaching

I love teaching, and have done various kinds of teaching. I currently teach English and lingusitics at the Department of English at Uppsala University. Before that, I taught English at Mid-Sweden University. 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.

Tips!

I like getting useful advice from others. And I like giving useful advice, too. There is no limit to the number of useful tips one can give. However, there are limits to the channels for giving such tips. It occurred to me that it might prove useful to have a "Tips" section on this website where I and others can provide tips on any topic that strikes our fancy.

Editing and Translation

For some years before going into linguistics, I worked as a writer, translator, editor and proofreader, mostly in the area of Spanish-English bilingual educational publishing. I still work as a freelance editor and translator in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Who am I?

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

Programming

My background is primarily in linguistics, but I have become an active computer programmer, working mostly on projects related to linguistics. I find that being both a developer and a linguist helps tremendously in the software design process.

Linguistics

I am a linguist with a PhD from the Program in Applied Linguistics at Boston University. Broadly, my main areas of interest in linguistics are discourse, pragmatics, semantics, and phonetics. I am very interested in both corpus linguistic methods and applications of computational linguistics to theoretical linguistic study.
