[edit] Personal Information

My name in the RL is Rob Sykes. I am currently living in Salt Lake City, Utah finishing my undergraduate studies in Arabic and linguistics. I will be moving soon to pursue graduate studies in linguistics elsewhere. We'll see, won't we?

My Website


[edit] Personal interests

Thousands, namely linguistics, computers, running, statistics, video games, Freemasonry, religion, the list goes on.


[edit] Academic interests

Primarily cognitive science, with particular interests in phonetics, phonology, connectionism (for example, Stochastic OT), neural networks. As far as traditional generative linguistics is concerned, I work within the frameworks provided, but I remain agnostic to the UG hypothesis.


[edit] Wikipedia interests

I will focus primarily on articles within theoretical linguistics and Freemasonry.
