BibleTech 2008

14th January 2008 / by James Tauber

I don't think I've mentioned it here before but next week, I'm one of the keynote speakers at the BibleTech 2008 conference in Seattle.

While I've given talks a number of times about my Greek linguistics research, this will be the first time that I'll get to talk about how I've used technology in that research.

I plan to give a history of the [MorphGNT] project and the various sub-projects I've worked on over the last fifteen years, covering the evolution of data models, text encoding, tool sets and more. I then want to talk about the opportunities that lie ahead and where I hope the work will go in the future, particularly given my collaboration with Ulrik Sandborg-Petersen.

By day I’m an entrepreneur, web technologist and open-source developer but my academic background is in linguistics (along with some classics, comparative philology, and educational statistics) and my main avocation is working on text, annotations, analysis and software relating to historical languages with a particular interest in facilitating better learning.

While my focus has mostly been on Biblical Greek, much of the work is highly relevant to other Hellenistic Greek texts, other dialects of Ancient Greek and, indeed, texts in completely different languages as well.
