Teaching

I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy UK.

I have acted as lecturer and convener for the following courses:

• An MA-level course which introduces the basic principles underlying LFG, as well as the formalism and notation.
• Students practice working with the formalism in a step-by-step approach and explores how LFG can be used to analyse various phenomena from a wide range of world languages.

• An MA-level course which explores points of linguistic interest in Middle English and discusses processes of language change underway during the period.
• Also features a practical component where students develop skills in reading, translating and commenting on Middle English texts

• An MA-level course which examines how various syntactic change phenomena can be analysed within a theoretical framework of syntax, in particular that of Lexical-Functional Grammar.
• Also features a practical component introducing students to historical treebanks.

• A BA-level course which introduces key topics in in sociolinguistics with respect to core linguistic areas (phonetics, phonology, morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics).

• A third-year course (30 students) on grammatical change, with theoretical and practical components.
• Includes an enhanced version for MA students.

• A second-year course (60 students) introducing Old and Middle English language and exploring points of linguistic interest.

I also taught as a Graduate Teaching Assistant on the following courses:
