He has published articles on theoretical syntax in various linguistics journals and conference proceedings. His book, Purpose Clauses, was published in 1991. Dan Loehr earned his BA in Computer Science from Cornell, and his MS and PhD from Georgetown in Computational Linguistics, with a dissertation on the relationship between gesture and intonation.  He manages the Human Language Technology group at The MITRE Corporation, where his research interests include multimodal conversational systems, including tools for analyzing nonverbal behavior.  Dan has previously taught linguistics as an adjunct lecturer at Georgetown. <a href="http://mason.gmu.edu/~cmccart6">Corrine McCarthy</a> earned her PhD in Linguistics from McGill University, her MA in Hispanic Linguistics from the University of Pittsburgh, and her BS in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests include second language acquisition, bilingualism, morphology, acoustic phonetics, and dialects of American English. She teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, and research methods. Jill Waybright <a href="http://mason.gmu.edu/~weinberg">Steven H. Weinberger</a> is an Associate Professor of Linguistics in the Department of English at George Mason University. He earned his Ph.D. in Linguistics in 1988 from the University of Washington in Seattle, and has taught at George Mason since 1989. He teaches graduate and undergraduate level courses in phonetics, phonology, second language acquisition, and psycholinguistics. His principle research deals with language sound systems, exceptional phonologies, adult second language learning, and foreign accents. He is co-editor of Interlanguage Phonology (1987). He is also the principal investigator and administrator of the <a href="http://accent.gmu.edu/">Speech Accent Archive</a>. Douglas Wulf earned his BA in physics from Northwestern University, MA in English and applied linguistics: TESOL from Wright State University, and Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Washington. He has worked as a computational semanticist at a computer firm and was once a captain in the Air Force. Doug’s research interests include the application of linguistics to TESL, formal semantics and the semantics-pragmatics interface, historical linguistics (e.g. the evolution of meanings of grammatical constructions and what this reveals about their current meanings and uses), and computational linguistics (e.g. the analogical modeling of language; ontological representation). He is fluent in Czech and German and gets around either by unicycle or in a vintage Thunderbird. 3
