About Me:

I am currently Senior Lecturer in Language Change in the English Language and Linguistics programme at the University of York. Prior to that, I was a lecturer at Newcastle University, and I remain an affiliate of Newcastle's Centre for Behaviour and Evolution (CBE). Even before that, I worked for the National Science Foundation at the University of Iceland, where my collaborators and I built a syntactically parsed, diachronic corpus of Icelandic, The Icelandic Parsed Historical Corpus (IcePaHC).

Take this little baby. He doesn't know shit about social stratification.
