- This output (397pp) is the culmination of a 25-month AHRC Fellowship, investigating the linguistic consequences of migration. The study develops a novel 'Fourth Wave' approach to the acquisition of sociolinguistic variation by quantifying morphophonological, syntactic and discourse-pragmatic variables. These were manually coded from fully-transcribed interviews conducted by the author with 192 participants. The diachronic analyses derive from extensively searching a corpus of 3M+ words. The time-consuming data analysis and research programme required extensive engagement with diverse frameworks across disciplines so as to develop its complex, theoretical argument. Given the output’s length and complexity, it necessarily exceeds typical journal article formats.
