07.03  Teaching material

The following works are used in teaching and can be downloaded from my homepage.

Acoustics: Crib Sheet (6 pages)

Språkteknologi – en introduktion [Speech Technology – An introduction] (80 pages).

Automatisk översättning – en introduktion [Machine Translation – An introduction] (30 pages).

Lathund till syntaktisk analys [Crib sheet for syntactic analysis] (3 pages)

Lathund till relationen mellan kategorier och funktioner [The relation between categories and functions] (2 pages)

Olika slags motsatser [Different kinds of opposites] (1 page)

Kortkompendium om morfologisk analys [Short compendium on morphological analysis] (5 pages)

Prosodi i L2-inlärning [Prosody in Second Language Acquisition] (10 pages)

Most of the courses listed included creating and planning, correction of examination material, and also in most cases evaluation. The sum total of my pedagogical experience, including thesis supervision (including Stockholm University as well as external supervisor at Telia Research and Voice Provider) and examination (see relevant sections of this CV) amounts to approximately 5000 hours (although this figure is somewhat difficult to calculate). Since 2017 I am also active at Academic English Support (AES) and Språkcentrum, where I help students with their academic writing, in Swedish and English.

08.02  Other

Since the mid-1990s I also give the lecture “Language Technology  – an introduction” at a number of universities around Sweden, notably Göteborg University, Stockholm University and Karlstad University and others. I am also experienced in giving so-called “lecture recitals” as part of my concert activities, as well as teaching basic levels and basic level music teaching. My first teaching experience was to lead a “Free Choice“ course in Astronomy at High School during the Fall term 1977 and Spring term 1978.

09.02  MA, BA and basic levels

As a part of my position as Lecturer and later Associate Professor at the Department of Culture and Communication at Linköping University I supervise theses at various levels and at various departments. Please note that I have stopped listing those theses here (as of early 2017) since these would otherwise soon constitute the bulk of the entire Curriculum. Instead I give the number of theses supervised after the last one named.

During Fall semester 2008 I acted as external supervisor for a 101 paper (EEG experiment) at Stockholm University.

As a part of my position as amanuensis at the Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University I supervised the following Basic Level theses:

10.02  Course coordination and course planning

During the period spring 2013 through fall 2016 I was the main course coordinator of most of the second semester, later first, of the Speech Therapy program (Logopedprogrammet) at Linköping University (University Hospital), Sweden, as well as shared coordinator of the first and fifth semesters. During fall of 2013 I was also the main course coordinator of the fifth semester. The work included planning of course contents assignment of between 20 and 40 external lecturers per semester/course, bookings of laborations and demonstrations, administration in connection with examinations, course evaluations and follow-ups of course results, base group activities, correspondence with both teachers and students etc.

During a couple of years in the mid-1999s I worked with course planning as part of my position as an amanuensis at Stockholm University. This included scheduling, evaluations and basic course outlining. I also took part in the course planning of Computational Linguistics as part of my PhD studies position at Stockholm University.

During the Spring semester 1994 I was course coordinator for the computational linguistics course Language and Computers at Stockholm University. The work included administration of around ten invited lecturers within the fields lexicography, artificial intelligence, encryption, tagging, parsing, formal and mathematical linguistics, applications for the disables et cetera. I also lectured on the course (Prolog programming).

11.02  Reviewing – project proposals

I have acted as reviewer for the Dutch Technology Foundation STW (http://www.stw.nl/) as specialist within speech technology, neurocognitive science and musicology (January 2009).

11.03  Reviewing – academic press

As of 2023 I am declining most reviewing invitations. I have acted as reviewer for the following academic journals or books:

Below is a list of my press appearances. The listing is basically "newest first". For several of these items I have not had access to the paper version of the articles (with page numbers) and in those cases I refer to the web version (with the link). The list is surely not exhaustive, above all as regards Meowsic). At the end of the list I have put three cases where I am not the object of an interview as a researcher or a musician but instead have had photographs published.

Below you find a listing of my TV appearances I. The order is “newest first”. In some cases I don’t know whether the interview was actually broadcast, e.g. the ZDF/Bayerischer Rundfunk below. Again the hidden number with regards to mentions (as opposed to direct interviews with me personally) is surely considerable.

“Jinek” on RTL4 Dutch television (21 februari 2021) Paulien Cornelisse discusses her paper on ingressive speech (see 16.01 Press); I appear with a huge picture and am frequently referred to. Although I didn’t appear live the 1.5 million viewers (source: Cornelisse) made me think that this merited its inclusion here. ARTE (28 November 2020) “Comment le chat a conquis le monde”; documentary on the history of cats; both Susanne Schötz (initial comments) and myself (concluding comments) appear frequently (many researchers are interviewed), where our Meowsic work is described. SVT UR Språknyheterna (7 November 2017) “Språket om maktfaktor, meänkieli och mjau”; [Language as a tool of power, meänkieli and meow]; a film team follows me during data collections for Meowsic. SVT Nyheter (17 November 2016); broadcast in SVT Östergötland, SVT1 Rapport and SVT2 Aktuellt “Katter har sannolikt dialekt” [Cats have, in all likelihood, dialects]; on Meowsic. SVT Nyheter (4 March 2016) “Forskare ska lära oss prata med katter” [Researchers will teach us to talk with cats]; on Meowsic. Aftonbladet TV (TV4) Morgon (2 May 2016) “Forskaren kan tala med katter” [This researcher can talk with cats]; on Meowsic, purring etc. 24Corren (26 March 2014) I was interviewed by Henrik Lindberg about my research of big cat vocalisations and purring. ZDF/Bayerischer Rundfunk (19 June 2009) I was interview about my neurocognitive research by Anette Kolb and Anne Hartman. TV3 Direkt (3 November 1998) I was interviewed as linguist/speech technologist. SVT TV2, Rapport Sommarmorgon (31 July 1998) I was interviewed as linguist/speech technologist. M6 (French music channel) (Spring 1989) Lutenist in the lute maker Stephen Murphy’s stand in the “Musicora” fair in Paris; performing parts of a suite by Jacques Bittner on an 11 course baroque lute. SVT TV2 (29 september 1986) “Musik i Tvåan: Renässans för barocken”, del 1 (of 4) [Music in channel two; Renaissance for the baroque]; Lutenist in Johann Valentin Meder’s opera “Die beständige Argenia” (1680), staged as part of Swedish Baroque Festival in Malmö, Sweden (16–23 August 1986).

16.04  Film

I appear as a musician (lute and harp) in Martín Yernazían’s and Michael Masley’ film Art Officially Favoured; see:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815100

16.05  Webb

I am easily found on the web, but to provide a listing of mentions would be a both a futile exercise as well as a Sisyphus undertaking, for several reasons; for starters, almost all interviews in both press, radio and TV are mirrored on the web. What is listed below are interviews with and articles about me (e.g. Researcher Profiles) and the YouTube clip that was part of how my/our felid vocalisations studies (Meowsic) started.

17.02  Concerts and recitals

I have given concerts in Sweden, England and France, as a soloist, accompanist, orchestra musician (figured bass/basso continuo). I have also appeared in radio and TV in those countries in connection with performances. I performed at Professor Carin Franzén’s book release (När vi talar om oss själva - nedslag i subjektivitetens historia från Montaigne till Norén) at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, on 3 March 2019, playing (lutes) and singing French haroque music, appropriately in the 17th century room. I participated during the Swedish Baroque Festival (16–23 August 1986, Malmö, Sweden) as continuo musician (archlute) in the baroque opera Die beständige Argenia by Johann Valentin Meder; see section 16.03 TV.
