Teaching I taught for 37 years at the University of Iceland, both in the Department of Linguistics

and in the Department of Icelandic. I have taught more than 30 different courses –

undergraduate courses on Phonetics, Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Corpus

Linguistics, Linguistic Methods, and Composition, and graduate courses on Phonology,

Morphology, Syntax (both synchronic and diachronic), Corpus Linguistics, and Natural

Language Processing.

I have been active in developing teaching material and teaching methods. I have written

textbooks on Icelandic phonetics, generative phonology and generative morphology for

use at the university level. I was also a pioneer in distance education at the Department

of Icelandic (and in fact at the University as a whole) in 1999. Towards the end of my

teaching career, I experimented with flipped teaching and with using MOOCs from

other universities as an integrated part of my own courses.

Research In the beginning of my research career around 1980, I worked mainly on syntax. I have

published several papers on Icelandic syntax, especially diachronic and historical

syntax, but also some synchronic papers. Between 2005 and 2015, I was member of a

several domestic and Nordic collaborative projects and networks on syntactic variation,

such as “Variation in Syntax” (“Tilbrigði í setningagerð”), “ScanDiaSyn” (“Scandina-

vian Dialect Syntax”), “NORMS” (“Nordic Center of Excellence in Microcomparative

Syntax”), “NLVN” (“Nordic Language Variation Network”), and “N’CLAV” (“Nordic

Collaboration on Language Variation Studies”). I have also written articles and

textbooks on Modern Icelandic phonetics, phonology and morphology.

In the 1990s, my work on Old Icelandic corpora led me towards corpus linguistics. I

was chief editor of the Concordance to the Icelandic Family Sagas, which was pub-

lished on a CD in 1996. Around the turn of the century, I became a pioneer in language

technology at the University of Iceland and have since then participated in a number of

language technology projects, many of which have received external funding. The

largest of these was “Viable Language Technology Beyond English” which received a

three year Grant of Excellence from the Icelandic Research Fund in 2009. I was PI of

that project.

In recent years, I have become increasingly interested in language variation, language

contact, and language change, and the effects that radical sociological and technological

changes might have on the Icelandic language, especially within the digital domain.

Together with Professor Sigríður Sigurjónsdóttir, I was PI of a project entitled

“Modeling the Linguistic Consequences of Digital Language Contact”, which received

a three year Grant of Excellence from the Icelandic Research Fund in 2016.

Language Technology R&D Work I have cooperated with companies from the software and telecommunications industry

and with people form the disabled community on various projects. In the beginning of

the century, I took part in a number of projects financed by the National Language

Technology Programme which was operative from 2000-2004. From 2010-2012, I was

member of an Icelandic team which cooperated with Google on the building of an

Icelandic speech recognition system for Android smartphones, and cooperated with the

Icelandic Organization of the Visually Impaired and Ivona Software (now subsidiary

of Amazon) on a new text-to-speech system for Icelandic. From 2017-2019, I was board

member of the self-owned foundation “Almannarómur” which has been commissioned

by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture to administer the current National

Language Technology Programme.

Since the turn of the century, I have taken active part in Nordic/Baltic and European

cooperation in language technology and participated in several projects and networks

in this area. I was Icelandic representative on the Board of the “Nordic Graduate School

of Language Technology” (NGSLT) from 2004-2009. From 2011-2013, I led the Ice-

landic part of the EU funded “META-NORD” project, which was a part of “META-

NET”. Since 2015, I am National Anchor Point for “European Language Resource

Coordination” (ELRC), since November 2018, I am CLARIN National Coordinator for

Iceland at CLARIN-IS, and since 2019, I am Icelandic National Competence Center

Lead for “European Language Grid” (ELRC).
