Person

As of January 2021, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oslo, working on the interdisciplinary project Fakespeak – the language of fake news.

I am affiliated with Lund University through my work on the London–Lund Corpus 2 (LLC–2) of spoken British English.

I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in English Linguistics at Lund University during autumn 2020, having completed my PhD at the same university in 2019. My research centred on spoken language and the combination of social and cognitive processes of meaning-making in English conversation. It aimed to further our understanding of the social motivations and cognitive mechanisms of spoken language production, comprehension and change. To achieve this, I used advanced statistical methods such as linear mixed models, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative corpus and experimental techniques.
