S. B. in Mathematics, M. I. T., 1963; Ph. D. in Linguistics, M. I. T., 1968. I have taught a wide range of courses in linguistics at all levels in: University of Maryland; Uniwersytet im.

I have taught phonology, morphology and Descriptive Linguistics in general; computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing; lexicology and lexicography; linguistic acoustics; as well as many other courses in related areas. My doctoral thesis was on the morphophonology of Mi'kmaq, an Eastern Algonquian language, and I am currently working on a computerized dictionary of the language, as well as a comprehensive bibliography of the language, both of which are in a fairly advanced stage. I am currently interested in the light hapax legomena can shed on the structure of the lexicon, especially with respect to the labelling of words for part-of-speech and especially the difficult 1% or less of infrequent words in corpora, which often present particular problems in labelling.
