I am a sociolinguist and PhD candidate
Hi there! I'm Tom, a sociolinguist and PhD candidate researching the acquisition of sociolinguistic variation in Britain’s Black Country. My work focuses on how children in the Black Country learn to use and vary the features of their dialect, and the role that acquisition plays in the persistence of stigmatised regional varieties. In order to do this, I also investigate the features of the unique Black Country dialect.
Welcome to the Black Country
Welcome to the Black Country
The Black Country is an urban, industrialised region in the west Midlands of England, contiguous with the city of Birmingham.
I grew up in the Black Country, and its unique dialect is the focus of much of my research.
