We carry out corpus-based research on grammatical change in the history of English, on changes going on in Present-day English, and on varieties of English generally.
On a broader level, we are interested in typological issues in the field of cognitive-functional linguistics, with a focus on grammaticalization processes and Construction Grammar.
Our team is also involved in developing tools and resources for research in the field.
We are partners in the international consortium of universities carrying out the expansion and tagging of ARCHER (A Representative Corpus of Historical English Registers), and have compiled the Corpus of Historical English Law Reports 1535-1999 (CHELAR).
We have hosted the two most important international conferences in the fields of English historical linguistics and grammaticalization research, namely the Eleventh International Conference on English Historical Linguistics (11 ICEHL), in September 2000, and the Third International Conference New Reflections on Grammaticalization (NRG3), in July 2005; the latest editions of these conferences were held in Edinburgh (20ICEHL and NRG5, respectively)
