Research overview

Most of my research deals with phonological and grammatical variation in London, focussing on variation and change in vowel systems. I was a senior research associate at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom (2004-2010) working on the Economic and Social Research Council-funded projects Multicultural London English: the emergence, acquisition and diffusion of a new variety and Linguistic Innovators: The English of adolescents in London. I have also worked on variation in speech rhythm and voice quality, and I was the principal investigator on on a study on indefinite articles and pragmatic markers in London English funded by the British Academy (Analysis of London English using corpus tools, 2008).

Other research interests are in experimental phonetics and speech processing, especially models for word recognition. My PhD (Temporal and semantic factors in perception of the voicing contrast: Processing strategies in L1 and L2, University of Reading, 2004) was a psycholinguistic study on speech processing strategies in second language learners and native speakers of English. In particular it examined how language learners use phonetic and semantic information very early in time after the information was received.

Over the last few years I have been working on acquisition of English in multilingual classrooms in Norway and have held funded projects in this area.

Acquisition of English in the Multilingual classroom

We examine what multilingual language learners are able to do in English at different levels of proficiency. We identify the skills and practical abilities teachers need to be able to draw on students' multilingual resources in the classroom.

Analysis of London English using corpus tools

The project bridges the gap between sociolinguistics and corpus linguistics. It uses transcripts of interviews from the project Linguistic Innovators: the English of adolescents in London to perform corpus analysis of grammatical and discourse features.
