I am a professor in linguistics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. In recent years I main interest has been the Digital Humanities, and linguistic tool development for descriptive work in linguistic. I am an advocate for Open Access to research data, and try through the TypeCraft initiative I try to make linguistic data, in the form of Interlinear Glossed Text, more assessable for future research.
My fields of interest are formal syntax and lexical semantics. I teach constraint-based grammars, mainly Lexical Functional Grammar. I am also interested in linguistic methodology and how to bridge the gap between data-driven approaches an analytic linguistic work. I enjoy multi-lingual approaches to linguistics. I have worked on the Kwa-languages of West Africa, and on the Bantu language Ruyankore-Rukiga spoken in Uganda.
I have spent a lot of time with project work. More about this work and about recent publications you can find on my homepage. My own project is the TypeCraft project. Since last year we cooperate with CIDLeS, the Center of Social and Language Documentation in, Minde, Portugal.
A productive way to work together with other linguists is to create an annotation project on TypeCraft. Evaluating annotations together and discussing alternative glossing possibilities makes linguistic work fairly concrete. The discovery of 'new' or 'unexpected uses' of familiar pattern is only one of the bonuses of creating and sharing Interlinear Glossed Text in TypeCraft.
