Biography

Dr Jane Stuart-Smith is a Reader in English Language.  She is the author of a number of articles on: variation and change in Glaswegian accent, the impact of the broadcast media (television) on language change, the sociophonetics of British Asian accents, the phonetics and phonology of British varieties of Panjabi, the acquisition of literacy in Panjabi/English bilingual children, historical linguistics and sound-change.  She is author of Phonetics and Philology: Sound Change (OUP 2004), co-editor of The Edinburgh Companion to Scots (2003) (with J. Corbett and J.D. McClure), and was the English phonetics editor for the Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary (1994).  She is now writing a monograph on the influence of the media on language change (Mediating the local: language change and the media).


Dr Stuart-Smith is the director of a programme of research on aspects of variation and change in Glaswegian accent.  She has managed four completed projects: 'Accent Change in Glaswegian', funded by the Leverhulme Trust (1999, RA Claire Timmins), ‘Is television a contributory factor in accent change in adolescents?’ funded by the ESRC (2002-2005, RA Claire Timmins), ‘Looking variation and change in the mouth: developing the sociolinguistic potential of Ultrasound Tongue Imaging’, funded by the ESRC (2007-2008; PI Jim Scobbie, Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh; RA: Eleanor Lawson), and 'Investigating Ethnic Accents: An acoustic phonetic analysis of Glasgow Asian', funded by the British Academy (2008; RA Claire Timmins, Farhana Alam).


Dr Stuart-Smith was a member of the ESRC Virtual College for Management Psychology Linguistics and Education (2002-5), the ESRC First Grants Panel (2007, 2008, 2009), and is currently serving on the AHRC Peer Review College.
