17th International Morphology Meeting

I’m current in Vienna for the International Morphology Meeting.

It’s been quite an adventure to get here, which you can read about elsewhere.

If four days full of morphology weren’t enough there are workshops specifically on computational methods and discriminative approaches, both of which are obviously of huge interest to me.

I’m also hoping to catch up with Jim Blevins who is a sort of undergraduate version of a Doktorvater to me.

I’m sure in the coming months you’ll see a lot on this blog the seeds of which will have been sown at this conference.

(and yes, that was a legitimate use of the future perfect)

at the intersection of computing, linguistics, philology, and learning science

By day I’m an entrepreneur, web technologist and open-source developer but my academic background is in linguistics (along with some classics, comparative philology, and educational statistics) and my main avocation is working on text, annotations, analysis and software relating to historical languages with a particular interest in facilitating better learning.

While my focus has mostly been on Biblical Greek, much of the work is highly relevant to other Hellenistic Greek texts, other dialects of Ancient Greek and, indeed, texts in completely different languages as well.
