I am a Lecturer in English Language in the Department of English, School of Social Sciences and Humanities.
I am a researcher and educator in English language and linguistics, with a specialism in corpus linguistics. A lot of my work to date has focussed on the creation and analysis of spoken corpora: my monograph "Overcoming Challenges in Corpus Construction", which describes my work on the creation of the spoken component of the British National Corpus 2014, was published by Routledge in 2020. I am currently conducting research which uses this and other spoken corpora to explore recent change in spoken grammar and discourse.
I am also interested in the role of language in mainstream UK education. I am currently working with the University of Leeds on the ESRC-funded project Linguistic Challenges of the Transition from Primary to Secondary School, which involves the creation and analysis of written and spoken corpora of the academic language that students typically encounter in primary and secondary school.
More broadly, I maintain an interest in language in the news media and other public discourse spaces.
