About
Sophia is a lecturer in the Department of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex. Her current research uses corpus data to examine second-language written discourse and the role of lexis in second-language writing quality.
Her other main research interest is formulaic language processing and learning from a psycholinguistic perspective. Her PhD research in the Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics at the University of Cambridge (2001-2005) was in this area of research. It examined through psycholinguistic experiments the comprehension and learning of English idiomatic expressions by adult advanced second language language learners.
Before coming to the University of Essex, she worked as a lecturer in linguistics at the University of Greenwich and at the Open University in the UK and conducted postdoctoral research on English learner corpus data at National Taiwan University.
