Biography

I have been a Lecturer in English Language at the University of Glasgow since 2009. From 2004-2008, I was Research Associate for the Scottish Corpus of Texts & Speech (SCOTS) and Corpus of Modern Scottish Writing (CMSW) projects, which created large online corpora of texts in Scottish English and varieties of Scots. Before moving to Glasgow, I was a Teaching Fellow in French at the University of St Andrews, where I also completed my PhD in French linguistics.

I teach on several Honours courses in the English Language subject area: Semantics, Grammars of English, Culture and English Language Teaching, and Literary and Linguistic Computing. I also teach and convene the Level 1 English Language course.
