As a sociolinguist in my former academic career, my research interests lie in the concept of intra-speaker variation (stylistic variation), language attitudes, and identity construction.

Together with Ruth Kircher, I edited Research Methods in Language Attitudes (July 2022), the first interdisciplinary guide to traditional and cutting-edge methods for the investigation of language attitudes. 

My corpus-based research on lexico-grammar in Fiji English focuses on linguistic nativization in prepositional verb phrases. It provides an exhaustive description of the status and internal variation of this young post-colonial variety, and contributes to our understanding of the dynamics of variety formation in a multi-ethnic setting. Educated Fiji English: Lexico-grammar and variety status.
