Welcome to my website. In case you've
stumbled across it unintentionally, I'm a professor at the
University of York, UK, where I research language processing (how
the mind 'does' language) and aspects of eye movement control.
Surprisingly, the two are not unrelated...
On the assumption you don't leave immediately, you'll find here
more information about me - both academic and personal. Actually,
it's not clear that there's much difference, to the extent that my
work is about as big a part of my life as any other. I've even got
a blog. Occasionally.
Anyhow, follow the links to find out more about my research,
teaching, editorial activities, and current preoccupations
(children, coffee, and Karate...) or if you need to contact me, go
to my contact page.
If you have a pressing need to read any of my papers, I've made a
selection available to anyone living in a country
where downloading copyright material is not illegal.
If you're wanting to find out anything about the journal I edit
(Cognition), you'll find occasional references to it in my
blog. I do not post information there intended to be useful, but
rather as a reminder to some future version of me, reading through
past entries, of what my life was like while I was editor (note to
future me: it's not too late to learn to say 'no').
Finally, if you have a huge pile of money and would like to do
something useful with it, I can advise... feel free to just
give it to me...
