Linguistics (5)
Baker, Paul Linguistics and English Language
PhD Students
I will be on sabbatical from August 2012-August 2013 and will not be able to take any new students until I return.
Most of my PhD students are involved in corpus linguistics, (critical) discourse analysis, language and identities or a combination of these. My current PhD students are working on the following topics:
- the construction of gender identity in Iranian bloggers
- a corpus study examining how The Guardian reports on the topic of journalism.
- a corpus-based comparison of two academic books about Wahhabi Islam, focussing on the use of collocation to create ideology
- a corpus study examining construction of in and out groups in American newspapers.
Recent PhDs I supervised to completion:
- a corpus-based examination of the concept of political correctness in British broadsheet newspapers
- the language of marriage rituals in Botswana
- combining corpus approaches and CDA to examine discourses of terrorism in the British and Chinese popular press
- combining corpus approaches and CDA to examine discourses of homophobia in a right-wing political organisation
- a corpus study to compare lexical bundle use of Chinese learners of English with native speakers of English
- a corpus study of keywords to examine gender identity in British and Malaysian children's writing
Hardie, Andrew Linguistics and English Language
I would be especially interested in supervising PhD candidates working in the following areas:
- corpora of languages other than English - and in alphabets other than Latin;
- development and applications of corpus annotation ("tagging" at various levels);
- corpus-based grammatical analysis, especially cross-linguistic and/or quantitative approaches to grammar;
- investigating languageusing statistical collocation;
- the exploitation of corpus methods and resources in the other fields of the humanities and social sciences (e.g. history);
- or, more generally, in any area coherent with my research interests.
Hollmann, Willem Linguistics and English Language
I would be happy to receive applications in any of these areas: cognitive-typological linguistic theory (especially construction grammar and the usage-based model), language change and the history of English, dialect grammar, as well as the arsenal of research methods used in all these areas of linguistics.
Katamba, Francis Linguistics and English Language
I welcome applications in the areas of phonological theory and analysis, morphological theory and analysis, the description of the phonology and morphology of understudied languages (especially the languages of Africa) and English phonology and morphology.
