Personal profile
Biography
I taught at schools and universities in Australia, England, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam, before coming to Birmingham as a postgraduate research student in 2001. I have been a member of staff here at UoB since September 2005.
Research interests
I am interested in phraseology, discourse analysis, and usage-based theories of language in general.
I am currently carrying out research on the following topics:
- The relationship between phraseology and epistemology in written and spoken academic discourse.
- The language of patents, from the C17th to the present day.
