Linguistics
My research is in corpus-assisted discourse analysis and sociolinguistics.
I'm especially interested in the usage, change, and political influence of cultural keywords in American media. Following my MA in Applied Linguistics at SIU, I earned my PhD in Linguistics at the University of Georgia. Go Dawgs...both Salukis and Bulldogs!
