I am a historical sociolinguist. Many of my publications deal with codeswitching between Medieval Latin, Anglo-Norman French and Middle English in the late fourteenth to mid-fifteenth centuries. My recent work is on the sociolinguistic properties of words - my forthcoming book is titled Lexical Sociolinguistics: a Historical Approach.
