I'm an adjunct full
professor
at UC Berkeley's School
of
Information. My linguistics
research includes work in semantics and
pragmatics, text
classification, and written-language structure, and I
also work and
write on the social and cultural implications of new
technologies. I'm
co- teaching two courses with Paul Duguid this spring: History of
Information and a graduate seminar on Concepts
of
Information. I do a feature on language
on
the NPR show "Fresh
Air" and have
written
numerous commentaries on language for the Sunday New
York Times
Week in Review, as well as for other periodicals. I've
also contributed
occasional "letters from America" to the BBC4 series
"State of the
Union." I'm the emeritus chair of the usage panel
of the American
Heritage Dictionary. For the
that-and-a-nickel-will-get-you-on-the-subway file: I
have a Bacon
number of 3 and an Erdös
number
of 4, making for an Erdös-Bacon
number of 7.
