She obtained her PhD from Lancaster University, the UK. The areas of her academic interests include corpus linguistics, stylistics and discourse analysis. Specifically, she is particularly keen on the dialectical relation between lexis and text. She has recently completed two corpus-driven research projects, one on the style of Jane Austen’s novels and the other on stylistic differences between Thai and native speaker learner English argumentative essays, both funded by Thailand Research Fund, Commission on Higher Education and Chulalongkorn University.
