Dr Simon Statham

My research focuses on the critical linguistic analysis of literary and non-literary discourses. I am particularly focused on the ideological operation of institutional discourses, especially media language, legal language and the language of crime and deviance. I have additional research interests in stylistics and literary linguistics, particularly the multimodal and pragmatic analysis of televisual dialogue.
