Research Interests

My main area of research is historical computational linguistics. My PhD focuses on the linguistic nature of the genre of early modern English dramatic texts.

I am interested in how computational methodologies can be applied to literary (and especially historical) texts. In particular, how these methodologies may aid our understanding of how the language functions in these texts.
