Dear Ingrid Piller,

                  Thanks very much for the information on possible reviewers for some books. I would like to offer myself as one of such reviewers. As requested, the following information is provided

   Qualification: 
  A PhD holder in Applied Lingusitics from the National University of Singapore, currently I am a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship Award holder at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. Before the commencement of my doctoral studies in Singapore, I taught English Language and Linguistics at the University of Cape Coast and University of Education of Winneba, both in Ghana, for five years. I also taught academic writing at Lee Kuan School of Public Policy (Singapore) as well as tutored Social Variation in English at undergraduate level at the National University of Singapore.

  Interests: 
  My interests include (critical) discourse analysis, sociolinguistics (especially, language and gender, address terms), the interface between postgraduate education and academic writing, disciplinary discourse/disciplinary variation.
