Supervised topics

(Picture source: dilbert.com)

I am happy to supervise students on the following topics:

• Learner Corpus Research 
• Grammatical and lexical variation
• Digital humanities
• Statistical modelling of linguistic data  

Students are expected to conduct empirical studies using corpus-linguistic and experimental methods. 

A list of possible topics for 2021/22:

• The language of pop culture (e.g. hip-hop discourse, pop music lyrics)
• High-frequency verbs in learner English (e.g. the overuse of GET)
• Formulaic language
• Use of progressive by advanced learners
