Dr Merryn Davies-Deacon
Since 2020, I’ve been a lecturer in French linguistics at Queen’s University Belfast. I teach French language and linguistics to undergraduates, and work on sociolinguistic topics with postgraduates. My research to date has mostly focused on Cornish and Breton, with interests in the following:
- language standardisation
- language attitudes
- language and identity
- language revitalisation and new speakers
- language in (new) media
- lexicon and lexicography
- orthography
I also enjoy low-stakes technological tinkering and designing simple websites. This is the result.
