Michael Pace-Sigge initially worked as university teacher at the University of Liverpool, UK from 2005 – 2012 and as university teacher at Liverpool Hope University 2007-08. In 2012 he was appointed Senior Lecturer at the University of Eastern Finland, where he continues to teach and do research. Beyond that, he has taught during Erasmus exchanges in Estonia, Italy, Lithuania, Spain, and Ukraine. Starting with an interest in Scouse (the accent of Liverpool) he moved from a phonetics MA to a corpus linguistics PhD. His particular interest lies in the Lexical Priming Theory (as can be seen by his 2013 and 2017 books). He also keeps finding further applications for corpus linguistics (as the 2015, 2018 and 2020 books attest). Of late, his interest has shifted to language applications in AI and Paul Hopper’s Emergent Grammar research.
