I have worked here at KUL since 2000. I am a member of the Department of Modern English.

My research interests lie in the area of linguistics, and especially corpus linguistics. I use large amounts of computer-stored and computer-processed texts to make, hopefully, interesting observations about English. Recently, my attention has focused on several aspects of variation in the syntax of modern English, i.e. I have looked into the syntax of written vs. spoken language, the variation in adverb placement, and the structural variants of cleft sentences.
