Bio
Joe is an expatriate American who has been living in Sweden since 1986; at present he is an associate professor of English Linguistics at the Department of Languages and Literatures, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Joe’s early research focused primarily on theoretical approaches to English grammar and syntax, but over the past ten years his work has shifted toward the use of English in popular media. Most of Joe’s recent publications deal with issues of identity and linguistic representation in different Popular Culture channels such as TV dialogs, music lyrics, ads, tabloids, online games, social media, etc. His research in this broad area is best characterized as an interdisciplinary combination of sociolinguistic and grammar theories with elements of media studies and cultural studies.
