Dr Oliver Mayeux

I completed my PhD in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics here at the University of Cambridge in 2019 and now lecture in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics. I also act as Director of Studies in Linguistics at Fitzwilliam College and co-convene the Cambridge Endangered Languages and Cultures Group (CELC). Funded by a Cambridge Humanities Research Grant, I am also working as a part-time Research Assistant investigating Haitian dialectology as part of the ESRC-funded project Tweetolectology: Investigating the diffusion of morphosyntactic innovation using Twitter.

Before coming to Cambridge, I studied for a BA in Korean & Linguistics with Yoruba at SOAS, University of London with a year at Korea University, Republic of Korea. During that time, I worked part-time as a Research Assistant in Korean Linguistics at SOAS and at the University of Oxford.
