• My recent Citizendium edits - look here to see what I've been working on (or just see if I know what I'm talking about). I am mostly responsible for the original information on many of the Linguistics Workgroup pages, and have also been trying to get linguists and departments to link to Linguistics.
• My userplan.
• My user subpages

• Articles I've created:

• Articles which I intend to make a significant contribution to include Linguistics, Language, Second language acquisition, Monitor Theory, the Critical Period Hypothesis, Applied linguistics, Phonology, Phonetics, vocal cords, Elizabeth II, House of Commons, Japan, Japanese language, Creole language and Singapore English. I rewrote the German language page, but don't intend to go back to it much. I also restarted the abortion article, and wrote most of the early versions of spoken language. As for Japanese popular culture, I started that using bits written by other people and myself elsewhere.
