I'm a second-year graduate student, working mainly in computational psycholinguistics. As an undergrad I majored in mathematics, which is a great field, full of laudable research and the most pure characters in the world. But linguistics is far better.

If you are not a linguist but you are perusing this site, then a few questions may have popped into your mind, and I'd like to take this opportunity to pre-empt them:
1. I only speak one language. It is English, and I can say I have near-native fluency in it. I can read a bit of French and Spanish, but conversation is way beyond me, regrettably. I can't mimic sounds well at all. Luckily, this is not as big a part of linguistics as one might think.
2. Switching from math to linguistics is more common than you might think. The underpinings of each are remarkably similar, and many of the great advances in linguistics have been based on advances in mathematical logic, set theory, and other math stuff.
3. I am not a strict grammarian. I say "good" and "well" interchangeably. That's not to say I have no grammar -- in fact, I run a grammar blog -- but I think it's important to differentiate between rules that are and aren't well-founded.

So that's my deal. You're welcome to see my research interests, learn a bit more about me, or investigate my personal dialect (idiolect), which is replete with oddities that come from my many years in Pittsburgh.
