I concluded forty years of professional service in teaching and research at Duke University in September, 2007. For over twenty years I have consulted with law firms and served as an expert witness in matters concerning linguistics and the law, and I continue to offer my services as linguistic expert specializing in
• trademark issues (strength of mark, likelihood of confusion,
word history, dilution, putatively scandalous marks)
• interpretation of the language of contracts and statutes
• allegations of defamation
• verifiability of confessions and interrogations
• the interpretation of linguistic evidence--spoken, written, and
electronic
