Professor of Pragmatics and Corpus Linguistics at the\u00a0 School of Journalism, Media & Communication, University of Central Lancashire, much of her research relates to \u00abspoken\u00bb interaction as it appears in (speech-based) historical texts. This work brings together corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and pragmatics. She has explored in some detail the area of the historical courtroom and is currently developing a corpus of 19th centrury English trial texts (Archer (2005), Historical Sociopragmatics: Questions and Answers in the English Courtroom<\/em>; Archer (2006), (<\/em>Re)initiating strategies: Judges and defendants in Early Modern English courtrooms<\/em>). She has co-developed a scheme for identifying and annotating requests in historical texts (Culpeper and Archer (2008), Requests and directness in Early Modern English trial proceedings and play-texts<\/em>). She is also working with Dr Paul Rayson, Lancaster University) to retrain the UCREL semantic annotation system (a tool that combines part-of-speech and semantic tagging) so that it automatically analyses historical texts from 1600. They have been awarded one British Academic grant . More recently, she has become interested in Press reportage,<\/strong> specifically the reportage of \u00a0\u00abterror\u00bb and construction and (re)presentation – especially relating to ethnic minorities.<\/p>\n

Senior Lecturer in the Department of English Language at the University of Glasgow, where she has been based since 1989. She is also Director of the STACS Project \u2013 Stylistics, Text Analysis and Cognitive Science: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Nature of Reading<\/a> which combines stylistic analysis and empirical testing to investigate topics attention-controlling devices, perspective, and reference items in narrative. Her main research interests are in the mental processing of text, discourse anaphora, and stylistics as reflected in Narrative Comprehension: A Discourse Perspective<\/em> (1997), which draws on insights from discourse analysis and artificial intelligence to build a detailed model of how readers build, maintain and use mental representations of fictional contexts. Dr. Emmott has also published articles on text analysis, stylistics, and reference theory. She has been involved in developing the area within Stylistics called Cognitive Stylistics (also known as Cognitive Poetics) and has contributed to key edited volumes in this area, such as Herman\u2019s (2003) Narrative Theory and the Cognitive Sciences<\/em>, Gavins and Steen\u2019s (2003) Cognitive Poetics in Practice<\/em>, Louwerse and van Peer\u2019s (2002) Thematics: Interdisciplinary Studies<\/em>, and Semino and Culpeper\u2019s (2002) Cognitive Stylistics: Language and Cognition in Text Analysis<\/em>. Her book Mind, Brain and Narrative<\/a><\/em> (2012, with A.J. Sanford) provides an overview of the STACS Project. She is Assistant Editor of the journal Language and Literature<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Emeritus Professor in the Department of Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster University, since 2002. He was Professor of Linguistics and Modern English Language at Lancaster University from 1974 to 1996. He then became Research Professor in English Linguistics. His main research area is English linguistics. Since 1970 he has been engaged in research on computer corpora, including the compilation of the LOB Corpus and the BNC (British National Corpus). Corpus linguistics over the decades has converged with English grammar, another of his major research interests. Apart from this, he has worked on pragmatics, where his interest has above all been in the linguistic theory of politeness.<\/p>\n

Recently he has returned to literary stylistics\/poetics, a field to which he contributed from the 1960s, and on which he has collaborated with Lancaster colleague Mick Short. He has written, co-authored or co-edited over 30 books and over 120 articles and papers in the areas of English grammar, literary stylistics, semantics, computational linguistics, corpus linguistics and pragmatics.<\/p>\n

Among his most recent publications are:<\/p>\n
