About#

Stefan is interested in the connection of language and identity, broadly construed, which he most often explores from the vantage points of sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, dialectology and lexicography. He has published monographs on Canadian English, Austrian German and other non-dominant language varieties with Routledge, Cambridge University Press, John Benjamins and new academic press in Vienna. The editor-in-chief of the second edition of A Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles (UBC, 2017; www.dchp.ca/dchp2) has been at UBC English Language and Literatures since his postdoctoral days. Before his time as Full Professor at UBC, however, he held a research chair at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and was Canadian Studies guest professor at the University of Kiel, Germany

When teaching, Stefan focuses on the connection of theory with practice and brings an authentic research experience to the class, even in first year. Working with real language material from actual situations and speakers is key in his teaching.

Teaching areas: all areas of sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, language variation and word meaning and lexicography, structure of English

Research#

My research interests coalesce around historical linguistics, dialectology and sociolinguistics. As chief editor of The Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles (DCHP-2), I have been heavily involved with lexicography. DCHP-2’s online context allowed me to hone my digital humanities skills. My overall motivation is driven by the exploration of patterns in language variation and change and by the integration of historical and present-day data and approaches. I have worked on methodological questions, including the application of written questionnaires to current research questions and contexts and, recently, more on Austrian German.

Public outreach and knowledge dissemination is important to me, as I consult on linguistic issues (e.g. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CTV Newsworld, Global TV BC, The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun); I have given public talks and lectures on various linguistic topics (e.g. on Global Englishes, Canadian English, the history of English, dictionary making, questions of language use) and I take an avid interest in language pedagogical questions and questions of multilingualism and linguistic rights.
