PhD projects

I am keen to hear from students interested in conducting research on idioms and formulaic language, as well as other aspects of phraseology, and on figurative language more generally. This includes processing and representation in first and second languages, the development of figurative competence in second language speakers, and the ways in which linguistic and cultural knowledge contribute to how people make sense of metaphorical and extended uses of words and phrases.

Please contact me to discuss any ideas you may have. As my research tends to be experimental, I would encourage any potential applicants to think about the ways in which psycholinguistic techniques might form a key part of your project.
