Research
I research in sociolinguistics and the social psychology of language. I am particularly interested in the evaluative and attitudinal fields of language and communication. These include attitudes to language; persuasive communication and attitude change; and perceptions, evaluations and attitudes in intergenerational communication across the lifespan.
I have co-directed an ESRC-funded project investigating attitudinal and performance effects of mother-tongue use in bilingual education, and have also co-directed a funded research project on language attitudes in Wales. Much of my recent research has been on the Leverhulme-funded Language and Global Communication project at the Centre for Language and Communication Research (CLCR). This has included research into global attitudes to English, and comparing public perceptions of globalization in different parts of the world. It has also included research in the ‘Wales, Language and Globalisation’ strand of the project.
I am currently conducting collaborative research with colleagues in Spain (Dr Josep M. Cots, University of Lleida, and Dr David Lasagabaster, University of the Basque Country). This is a three-year project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, and is entitled: Internationalisation and multilingualism in universities in bilingual contexts – Catalonia, The Basque Country, and Wales.
Biography
I have been working in the Centre for Language and Communication Research (CLCR) at Cardiff University since 1994. Prior to coming to Cardiff, I was a lecturer in the Linguistics Department at Bangor University.
During the academic year 2011-2012, I am Visiting Professor at the University of Lleida (Catalonia) in the autumn semester. In the spring semester, I am teaching the third year undergraduate module SE1371 Persuasive Communication.
I have directed and researched in a number of funded research projects, including more recently the Leverhulme Trust funded Language and Global Communication research programme carried out at CLCR between 2001 and 2006. I am currently co-holder of a research grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation for a three-year project entitled Internationalisation and Multilingualism in Universities in Bilingual Contexts: Catalonia, The Basque Country and Wales.
I was Editor of the journal Language Awareness (Taylor and Francis) from 1993 to 2008. I am on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Sociolinguistics, Sintagma Journal of Linguistics, Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics, and the Greek Journal of Applied Linguistics. I am also a member of the Economic and Social Research Council Peer Review College for the evaluation of research grant applications in Psychology.
