CorpusCast is the podcast about corpus linguistics and what it can do for society. Join Dr Robbie Love as he speaks with top researchers in the field to find out more about how corpus linguistics – the study of linguistic patterns in large samples of language – is applied to a diverse range of areas including health, social justice and education. On this episode, Robbie chats to Professor Jack Grieve. Jack’s research focuses on understanding language variation and change through the quantitative analysis of large corpora of natural language data. Jack works in corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, and dialectology. He is especially interested in grammatical and lexical variation in the English language across time, space and communicative context. He also develops methods for quantitative linguistic analysis and authorship attribution. Jack studied at Simon Fraser University and Northern Arizona University. Before moving to the University of Birmingham in 2017, he held a post-doctoral research fellowship at the University of Leuven and a Lectureship in Forensic Linguistics at Aston University. Jack’s research has been reported widely in the press by outlets including New York Times, BBC, Time, and The Washington Post. Jack’s recent book The Language of Fake News (with Helena Woodfield) was published in the Cambridge Elements in Forensic Linguistics series in 2023.
