Icelandic linguist working on DM and NLP

My name is Anton Karl Ingason and I am an associate professor (dósent) of Linguistics and Language Technology at the University of Iceland. I work on the realization of morphemes at the interfaces of syntax with interpretation and sound in the Distributed Morphology framework. I also work on language technology; in particular, I am one of the authors of the Icelandic treebank, IcePaHC. IcePaHC can be queried online at treebankstudio.org.

ERC grant: EILisCh

I have been awarded an ERC grant (€1.5M) for a project named Explaining Individual Lifespan Change (EILisCh). It is a five year project (2023-2028).
