Ymchwil
Research interests
My chief research interest lies in exploring the communicative functions of intonation: notably how intonation is used in conjunction with syntactic cues to help segment the speech signal into semantic units analogous to the orthographic units of clause, sentence and paragraph, and how tonality and tonicity choices project information as given or new.
Funding obtained
Full funding £6133 has been obtained from the journal Language Learning to host a multi-institution Round Table "New Theoretical Perspectives above below and across the clause" on September 4 and 5 2014 at Cardiff University.
Addysgu
I currently teach the postgraduate module Phonology SET008, the second year undergraduate module Pronunciation of English SE1335 and teach on the first undergraduate module Introduction to Language and Society SE1335.
Bywgraffiad
Prior to completing my PhD in Discourse Intonation at Birmingham I taught for many years at various universities in Japan where I taught a range of courses focusing on pronunciation, functional approaches to grammar and critical reading of news texts.
I have also worked at Swansea University as a lecturer where I taught courses on sociolinguistics, dialectology and language origins. I am currently working on revising my PhD for publication.
