Costas Gabrielatos
I work in linguistics and applied
linguistics (or is it linguistics applied?) using and developing corpus-based
approaches (or are they corpus-driven?) to issues in theoretical, descriptive
and pedagogical lexicogrammar, critical discourse studies, and sociolinguistics.
In previous lives, I worked in English language teaching and language teacher
education - or was it training? I am working part-time towards a PhD in
linguistics at Lancaster University,
where I also do research and teaching.
For details, see my CV; for a condensed version, see my bio note;
for a snapshot, see the CV word cloud.
This page lists my publications and presentations, as well
as some unpublished essays and teacher education materials, organised by topic:
