Ymchwil

My research interests lie at the intersection of language, society, and media, an area that is at the forefront of applied linguistics. More specifically, my work covers research related primarily to the fields of language and new media, research ethics, and media sociolinguistics. In the field of language and new media, I have explored digital genres, sociability and intimacy in texting practices; media ideologies and digital discourses related to the development of social media platforms; typography and script as resources for vernacular creativity in digital communication. My publications also cover issues of research ethics, with particular interest in revisiting current approaches for ethical decision-making in digital media contexts. More broadly in the field of media sociolinguistics, I have developed a growing interest in innovative perspectives on the study of sociolinguistic change, mediat(izat)ion and style.

I am also a member of the CLCR research group who undertakes collaborative research with the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (NHS Wales). Our project on ‘Managing roles and goals in nursing handover meetings’ is funded by the ESRC Impact Acceleration Account (£3K) and I have also led a successful CUROP project (£1K), exploring issues related to organizational discourse in healthcare settings. 

My work draws on and combines methods and concepts from discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, linguistic ethnography and new literacy studies.

Research interests

  • Multilingualism, translanguaging and trans-scripting
  • Language and media ideologies
  • Media, style and stylization
  • Research ethics
  • Publicness and privacy in digital communication
  • Narrative discourse
  • Genre, interaction rituals, openings and closings in mediated communication
  • Politeness and relationality
  • Approaches to culture and intercultural communication

Postgraduate students

I am interested in supervising PhD students in areas related to language and media, particularly research on genres, interaction rituals, relationality, multilingualism, language and media ideologies. Research drawing on discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, ethnography and new literacy studies would be of particular interest.

I am currently supervising the following students:

Argyro Kantara on hybridity and the epistemology of televised election campaign interviews

Zayneb Al-Bundawi on sacred texts and identity construction in the Cardiff Muslim community

Stephanie Tilliridou on code-switching, identities, and language attitudes on Facebook

Bywgraffiad

I joined the Centre for Language and Communication Research as a Lecturer in September 2012, having previously been employed as Lecturer (and Senior Lecturer) in English Language and Communication at Kingston University from 2008 to 2012.

After completing my undergraduate studies at the University of Athens (Greece), I moved to the UK where I completed an MSt in General Linguistics and Comparative Philology at the University of Oxford. In 2007, I was awarded a PhD in Linguistics at King’s College London where I taught modules in applied and socio-linguistics, as well as Modern Greek Language.

Meysydd goruchwyliaeth

Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn goruchwylio myfyrwyr PhD mewn meysydd sy'n ymwneud ag iaith a'r cyfryngau, yn enwedig ymchwil ar:

  • genres digidol, disgwrs a chyfathrebu
  • defodau rhyngweithio a pherthynas mewn rhyngweithio rhyngbersonol a phroffesiynol
  • hunaniaeth ac amlieithrwydd ar y rhyngrwyd
  • Ideolegau iaith a chyfryngau

Byddai ymchwil sy'n tynnu ar ddadansoddi disgyrs, sosioieithyddiaeth, ethnograffeg ac astudiaethau llythrennedd newydd o ddiddordeb arbennig.

Yn ogystal â'r myfyrwyr a restrir o dan 'Oruchwyliaeth Gyfredol', goruchwyliais hefyd y myfyrwyr PhD canlynol i'w cwblhau:
