I am a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Birmingham. I work on GLARE (“Exploring Gender in Children’s Literature from a Cognitive Corpus Stylistic Perspective”), an EU-funded project. My main research interests are in corpus linguistics and particularly in corpus stylistics. I am also interested in literary translation, contrastive corpus based linguistics and lexicology.
