Welcome to my site. I am an Associate Professor in the Linguistics department at Rice University where I teach courses in cognitive linguistics, Cognitive Grammar, Romance and French linguistics. Here you will find information on my current research, list of publications, academic positions, classes etc. I have also attempted to provide links to other related information that those interested in cognitive linguistics may find useful. BTW- I’d like to thank my wife Melanie for her help in creating this site... |
