I’m a Linguistics student in the USA, currently working on a Ph.D and doing research/teaching. I’m fascinated by the sounds of language and the processes through which we hear and produce them. I’m also very interested in the interaction of language with thought and the visible and invisible elements of the world in which we live. This site is an exploration of modern linguistics, in the mirror of some of those ideas. In addition to the Linguistic elements, I’ll share useful information about some of the more mundane aspects of the world, offering tips and links involving computing, linguistics, and anything else that catches my fancy.
My strongest passions are in language and linguistics, thought, philosophy, and the human experience of the world. Language is essential to the human experience, and by studying language, I hope to find new ways to view life and the world around me. In addition to language and linguistics, I enjoy playing hammered and mountain dulcimer, working on the computer and with free/open-source software, studying Russian literature, the tarot, and photography, and taking road trips.

This email will forward to my real address, which I use for correspondence (and which I’ll reply with). It’s nothing personal, I just don’t want to post the real address here, so I don’t get any more spam than I already do.
