Academic InterestsMy
interests are in three different areas: theoretical linguistics (syntax and
morphology) and dialectology, linguistics methodology and language
technology. The last few years my involvement in dialectology has combined
these two interests. I am part of several Nordic networks focussing on
dialects and language variation, and as a manager of the Text Laboratory, I
am pleased that we have been in charge of developing The Nordic Dialect Corpus
and Nordic Dialect Database. My
linguistic research has recently focussed on Scandinavian demonstratives
(especially what I call Psychologically Distal Demonstratives), dialect
differences related to dative case and word order variation, and the mapping
of grammatical isoglosses, but I am still interested in my old research
topics coordination, negation and negative polarity items, compounding, and
correlative adverbs. My research languages are Norwegian and the other
Scandinavian and Germanic languages, but I have also done research on Modern
Greek. My outlook is usually one of a wider cross-linguistic perspective. My
linguistics methodology interests are linked to the use of empirical data,
from collecting data to using data. Corpus linguistics comes under this
heading. My
language technology interests are closely linked to my role as head of the
Text Laboratory, and my work here is very much part of a collaborative
effort. The projects include: part of speech tagging, named entity recognition,
corpus (text and speech) and interface development, grammars and treebanks,
grammar checking, grammar games, statistical methods, computational
lexicography. |
