ABOUT CURRENT WORK EDUCATION & TRAINING TEACHING RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS PRESENTATIONS
I am Senior Lecturer in English
language at the Department of
English & History, Edge Hill University. I
have been working within corpus linguistics since 2001; previously, I worked in
applied linguistics and language teacher education (1992-2001) and English
language teaching (1984-1993).
My
general research interests are in the use and development of corpus approaches to issues in descriptive,
theoretical and applied linguistics ‒ particularly as regards the English
language. More specifically, my research focuses on the following areas:
·
Modality and conditionals
·
The compatibility between construction grammar and
lexical grammar
·
Pedagogical lexicogrammar –
and, more generally, the connection between linguistics and TESOL
·
Learner language and learner corpora
·
The use of corpus approaches to (critical) discourse
studies
My PhD thesis
examined conditionals through the lens of modality, and presented
classifications of conditionals and modality. It also proposed a view of
conditionals as environments of indeterminacy; that is, constructions with
obligatory internal modal marking, whose function is akin to that of linguistic
qubits (quantum
bits).
I have published on the nature, techniques, metrics
and applications of corpus linguistics, conditionals, modality, language
teacher education, and language teaching approaches – particularly on the role
of language awareness. My h-index is
3 when measured by ISI Web of Knowledge
and Scopus,
