My current research centers on language structure and use in medical question-answering, focusing specifically on health literacy and consumer-oriented medical language; I also assist in editing articles, dissertations, grant proposals, and just about anything else that comes across my desk.  Before arriving in Milwaukee, I conducted linguistic analysis on large business corpora as part of e-discovery, and previous to that, I did fieldwork, transcription and analysis under the direction of William Kretzschmar and Lee Pederson toward the development of a Linguistic Atlas of the Western States. I am also interested in the sociolinguistics and pragmatics of courtroom trials and the written representation of conversation in literature.
