Academic Profile
I am currently an Assistant Professor with the Department of English Communication, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Asian Studies, Nagoya University of Commerce and Business. Just before coming here, I was teaching linguistics (for a semester) at Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand. Before that, I was a post-doctoral research fellow (2002-2004) with the English Language Institute (ELI), University of Michigan, where I worked on ‘Phase 2’ of the MICASE corpus project, conducting research on the corpus, annotating it with part-of-speech tags, and enhancing and promoting its usefulness for language teachers in materials development and language testing. My PhD research (click here for details) was conducted at Lancaster University (UK), where I did a corpus-based study using the British National Corpus (BNC), focusing on the theoretical and methodological problems involved in trying to statistically model lexical and grammatical variation in spoken and written English. While at Lancaster, I also taught various linguistics courses, compiled the BNC Index, and later helped co-author the manual to BNCweb.
My research interests are in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and corpus-based language description and pedagogy. I maintain a meta-site (bookmarks/links site) for corpus-based linguists, http://devoted.to/corpora, which provides up-to-date links to corpora, tools, references, and related resources.
