Norwegian University of Science and Technology - Dragvoll campus

I am an associate professor in linguistics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. My field is syntax and lexical semantics. I teach mainly in formal linguistics, but in recent years I have started to give courses oriented towards language documentation.

Together with Pavel Mihaylov I have developed TypeCraft.

In recent years I have spent most of my time with project work. More about this work and about recent publications you can find on my homepage.

I try to spend as much time as possible with research and projects relating to TypeCraft. Together with Kristin Lindbach and Svenn-Egil Knutsen I just finished a project in Annotation of representative texts from Lule Sami.

As a linguist I like to work with languages from different language families. I have worked on the Kwa-languages of West Africa, on the Bantu language Runyankitara spoken in Uganda and on Oriya, an Indian language mainly spoken in the Indian state Orissa.
