Allan M. Ramsay is a Professor of Formal Linguistics in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester.[2][3][4][5][6]

Education[edit]

Ramsay's undergraduate degree was in Logic and Mathematics from the University of Sussex.[7] After completing a Master of Science degree in Logic from the University of London, he returned to Sussex to complete a PhD in Artificial Intelligence. Prior to working at UMIST and the University of Manchester, he was Professor of Artificial Intelligence at University College Dublin.

Research[edit]

Ramsay's research[8][9] focuses on Natural language processing,[10][11][12][13] including morphology and syntax. He has published papers on the analysis of free word order languages, particularly morphology of the Arabic language,[6][14] which poses a number of specific problems. Some of this research has been funded by the EPSRC.[15]
