My interests
A running list of things that keep me busy — and the pages I keep for each one.
Linguistics
The pages I keep on language — its structure, use, and the mental processes behind it.
Second Language Teaching
Guiding learners toward proficiency in a language that is not their native tongue — listening, speaking, reading, writing, and culture.
Indigenous Languages
Under development — language documentation, revitalization, and the communities behind them.
Science
Methodical, evidence-based pursuit of knowledge — from evolutionary medicine to the science of why we get sick.
Generative AI
From Markov chains to transformers — how generative AI grew out of linguistics and computation.
