Dr Christine Wallis is a Teaching Associate in the School of English at the University of Sheffield, specializing in the history of English with a focus on language variation and change. She holds a PhD from the University of Sheffield, where her research centered on scribal behavior in Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. Her work employs historical sociolinguistic and philological methods to analyze material texts, exploring how language norms and standards influence individual writers' practices.
Research interests include medieval manuscripts, multilingual educational materials, and dialectology, particularly in 18th-century personal correspondence. She has contributed to major projects like the Eighteenth-Century English Phonology Database (ECEP), published edited volumes, and authored chapters in scholarly collections such as The Cambridge Handbook of Historical Orthography and Intra-Writer Variation in Historical Sociolinguistics.
Teaching responsibilities include modules on Early Englishes, Old English literature, and the history of linguistic varieties. Her research trends emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to textual analysis, combining manuscript studies with sociolinguistic frameworks to uncover patterns of language use across historical periods.
