I did an undergraduate degree in English Language at the University of Edinburgh, where my interest in the history of English began. At York, I went on to specialise in the study of language change using language corpora, with interests both in syntactic theory and language variation. After gaining my PhD in 2005, I took up a postdoctoral research position at the University of Manchester. I joined 51 as a lecturer in 2008.
