Grammar, The Teaching of Writing, Corpus Linguistics

Departmental Director of Academic Tutoring

Areas of interest

I am interested in grammar, in second language writing and the analysis of its lexicogrammatical features and in corpus linguistics. In my PhD research, I employed corpus-based and corpus-driven methods to investigate the use and development of grammatical and lexical cohesion in the second language writing of Greek learners of English at upper-intermediate to advanced proficiency levels. I also examined the use of cohesion in a comparable corpus of first language writing.

Postgraduate supervision

I currently co-supervise PhD students in the areas of second language acquisition and corpus linguistics.
