Profile
My research is mainly about language variation and change. I focus on phonetics, phonology and morphology in English, German, Dutch, Frisian and other languages. I increasingly use electronic corpora and data visualisation techniques in my work. Currently, my main languages of interest are Saterland Frisian and northern English dialects. I teach English for Academic Purposes and Linguistics. I am Managing Editor of the journal NOWELE and the NOWELE Supplement Series of books.

    The article surveys relative clauses in Saterland Frisian based on a corpus of written and spoken language. Although the spoken language tends towards
    short coordinated sentences rather than complex subordinate structures, relative clauses are also found with some frequency. Some relative pronouns are common (especially when they function as a subject and direct object), while other structures are rare and restricted for the most part to written texts in the corpus (possessives, direct object, and dative-type uses).
    Relative clauses with prepositions and free relatives are formed in different ways and evidence diachronic change over the last two centuries of the language’s recorded history. Other characteristics of Saterland Frisian relative clauses include the use of _deer_ ‘there’ following subject relative pronouns and the use of resumptive pronouns and adverbs after relative
    clauses.

    The article has two aims: (1) to survey the main developments of labial fricatives in the history of Frisian; (2) to explain the varied developments of the voiced labial fricative more effectively based on the evidence Old Frisian spellings and reflexes in Modern Frisian dialects. As to the latter aim, it is argued that the currently accepted structural phonological explanation for the emergence of a systematic voicing alternation /f ~ v/ in early Old Frisian is too rigid. In agreement with Theodor Siebs, variable retention and lenition of the voiced bilabial fricative [β] presents another way of accounting for many of the Old Frisian spellings and Modern Frisian dialectal forms.

    This paper investigates the development of British English dialects in northeast England in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially those in North Yorkshire. Traditional rural dialects, which are well documented since the 17th century, have undergone major changes in different directions through changing circumstances, such as the introduction of mining and the steel working industry with major population changes and movements. Key developments in phonology, morphology and lexis are charted, and the differences between urban Teesside accents, as centred around Middlesborough, and more rural East Cleveland dialects are juxtaposed. Special attention is given to dialect geography on the basis of maps.

    This paper provides a synoptic view of surviving pre-Anglo Saxon place-names in England (excluding Cornwall) and southern Scotland. After presenting details on the numbers and distribution of the names judged to be either etymologically probable or possible, I show how consonants and long vowels in the place-name elements have different phonological forms in different areas of England and southern Scotland. Particular attention is paid to whether velar consonants in British names are palatalised before and/or after palatal vowels, and on how British long vowels have different reflexes in different regions of Britain. These differences usual stem from: 1) dialectal variation in British; 2) variation in Old English dialects; or 3) the effects of later contacts (e.g. with Norse). In some instances, however, the reasons are not entirely clear. Given that hundreds of place-names survive, it is surprising that handbooks on English historical phonology usually afford them little or no consideration at all.

    Authorship：Coinvestigator(s) 

    The aim of Taalportaal is to collect existing information about the grammars of Dutch, Frisian and Afrikaans and to make it available through the internet in a way which is both accessible and scientifically viable. Such a language portal is unique in the world. Three core domains traditionally distinguished in linguistics – phonology, morphology and syntax – have been integrated into one portal using extensive cross referencing to ensure optimal linking. This offers interesting opportunities for linguists to discover relations and connections between linguistic phenomena that have remained hidden until now. Taalportaal is, however, equally important to people dealing with language and grammar in a more practical way, such as teachers, language advisors and authors developing teaching materials.

    Each year approximately 25 hours of selected oral history recordings will be processed (transcribed, checked, tagged). In the first year, recordings from the Guisborough area will surveyed, consisting mainly of speakers from agricultural backgrounds. Thereafter, recordings of the coastal area near Loftus will be dealt with. The recordings are mainly of people involved in the fishing and mining industries. Finally, recordings from urban areas in or close to Middlesbrough will be investigated. Results will be presented at conferences and in articles.

    The research aims to produce a syntactic survey of Saterland Frisian. Currently, very little has been written on the syntax and constructions found in Saterland Frisian. It will be useful to conduct a survey and also to work out what kind of variation exists among the community of speakers today.
