About Us

Michele Sigler directs the project. She studied linguistics at MIT, where she wrote her PhD dissertation on western Armenian syntax. She is currently a visiting research fellow at the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at King's College, London. Her research interests — supported by her work on the Lexicon — are the syntax, morphology and lexical semantics of Armenian. This lexicon project was inspired by Kenneth Hale, her thesis advisor, and by the Perseus Project.

Krkor Moskofian is a PhD candidate at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies, writing his dissertation on the literary criticism of western Armenian diaspora literature. Born and raised in Beirut, Krikor holds a master's degree in Armenian language and literature from the State University in Yerevan.

Arminé Tamrazian. Raised in Iran, now lecturing at the V. I. Brusov Institute Linguistics Institute, Yerevan, Arminé received her PhD in linguistics from University College London. Her interest in syntax and verbal morphology, and her knowledge of standard eastern Armenian will be vital when we expand the lexicon to include other dialects of Armenian.

Bert Vaux received his doctorate in linguistics and taught for many years at Harvard University. He is currently on the linguistics faculty at Cambridge University. He oversees the phonological component of the project. His expertise in Armenian dialectology will direct the future expansion of the project to include other varieties of Armenian.

Circle Noetics and Envion Software — specialists in applying computer science to language — handle the technical work.
