Short presentation
I am Chair Professor of English Language in the Department of English at Uppsala University. My research interests are in stylistics, corpus linguistics and the history of the English language.
Biography
I studied for my BA, MA and PhD degrees in linguistics at Lancaster University, UK and before I did my PhD I taught English as a foreign language in northern Italy. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AdvanceHE, UK) and I hold a docentship in English Language from the University of Eastern Finland and a docentship in English from Uppsala University. I joined the Department of English at Uppsala in 2022.
I co-edit the book series Advances in Stylistics for Bloomsbury and am the co-founder and co-editor of Babel: The Language Magazine.
My most recent book is the second edition of Stylistics (Cambridge University Press, 2025; with Lesley Jeffries), a general introduction to the field of stylistics, now updated to include comprehensive coverage of the whole discipline.
