She has researched widely in the area of English socio-historical linguistics having looked at such diverse fields as English negations, historical social network analysis, the standardisation process and the language of 18th-century letters. She has recently published a book on Bishop Lowth (1710–1787) (the author of one of the most influential textbooks of English grammar). Her work on a collaborative project on English usage was featured in the BBC Radio 4's Making History programme.[2][3][4]
