that covers a wide range of topics from language evolution and change to
language spread and metaphor, with particular strengths in language learning and
teaching, sociolinguistics and the psychology of language. While most of our
research focuses on English (including historical varieties and world
Englishes), our staff members have also worked on or have an active interest in
a number of other languages, including Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, French,
