Emily M. Bender is Assistant Professor at the University of Washington. She completed her Ph.D. at Stanford University in 2000. Her research interests are grammar engineering for linguistic hypothesis testing, including the exploration of cross-linguistic universals; extending NLP technology to assist in the documentation of underdescribed languages; and the relationship between sociolinguistic variation and linguistic competence. Her recent publications are “On the Boundaries of Linguistic Competence: Matched-guise Experiments as Evidence of Knowledge of Grammar,” in Lingua; (with Dan Flickinger and Stephan Oepen) “The Grammar Matrix: An Open-Source Starter-Kit for the Rapid Development of Cross-Linguistically Consistent Broad-Coverage Precision Grammars,” in Proceedings of the Workshop on Grammar Engineering and Evaluation at COLING, Taipei, Taiwan; and (with Ivan A. Sag and Thomas Wasow) Syntactic Theory: A Formal Introduction (CSLI).
