Research

I am an Assistant Professor of Syntax at the Linguistics Department at The University of Texas at Austin. For more see my curriculum vitae and my publications page. My interests are primarily in lexical semantics and syntax, including:

I was also a project member of the Lingustic Grammars Online (LinGO) and Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) projects at the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI). See my grammars page for a list of grammars I developed with the HPSG/LinGO projects.

My Erdös number is at most a 5.

Coming soon.

Here's a picture of me circa June 2001, taken by my friend David Stringer-Calvert. Here's a picture of me from a gig sometime in April 2002, and here's a photo from a gig at the LSA 2003 Institute in July. Jakov and I are going to kick your ass if you say so much as one more word.

Here's a picture of Joseph Beuys getting attacked by a coyote.

My main hobby by leaps and bounds is music.
