ABOUT

I am a Professor in Linguistics at the University of Sydney. My primary research interest is in corpus-based discourse analysis. This refers to the use of electronic collections of texts and computer-based analysis to explore facets about discourse. My own research focuses on English-language media texts (media linguistics), with two main strands – language as used in the news (print, online, radio, TV) and language as used in fictional TV series (such as The Big Bang Theory, The Wire). I am also interested in modelling, theorising, and analysing language and emotion (attitude, stance, appraisal, evaluation, etc).
