Merryn Davies-Deacon

School of Arts, English and Languages

I am interested in language variation in terms of what it can tell us about the diverse range of backgrounds and beliefs that speakers bring to their communities: my interests include lexical and orthographic variation, the use of languages in online contexts, the use and representation of non-standard language varieties, and how language varieties are legitimated. I work on French and minoritised Celtic languages (Breton and Cornish).

I am available to supervise PhD projects on:

  • French sociolinguistics
  • Minoritised languages
  • Projects in linguistics involving identity, prescription/standardisation, language revitalisation/revival, (new) media, lexis, orthography, and/or sociolinguistic aspects of multilingualism.
