I am a third year Ph.D. Linguistics student at QMUL. I will complete my dissertation in Autumn 2013.

I am interested in sociolinguistic variation, and in particular in the relationship between people's beliefs and the forms of language they use. My dissertation explores the relationship between sociolinguistic variation and epistemological variation.

My research may offer insight into the basis of sociolinguistic variation in general, and it also provides a linguistic method for the analysis of variation in belief systems, both intra- and inter-culturally.
