Areas of interest
I am interested in grammar, in second language writing and the analysis of its lexicogrammatical features and in corpus linguistics. In my PhD research, I employed corpus-based and corpus-driven methods to investigate the use and development of grammatical and lexical cohesion in the second language writing of Greek learners of English at upper-intermediate to advanced proficiency levels. I also examined the use of cohesion in a comparable corpus of first language writing.
