- Education:
- PhD in Linguistics, University of Canterbury (2016)
- M.A. in English as a Second Language, University of Arizona
- B.A. in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, Saratov State University
Her research interests include sociolinguistic variation, accent perception, and the intersection of sociophonetics with second language acquisition. She explores how non-native speakers negotiate linguistic identity through accent and dialect, with recent work addressing language-based discrimination in employment contexts. Key projects include analyzing sociolinguistic corpora using computational tools (e.g., ASR) and studying regional Australian English dialects.
Dr. Gnevsheva’s articles examine topics like accentedness perception, second dialect acquisition, and the role of technology in sociolinguistic research. She collaborates on projects such as the 'Voices of Regional Australia' initiative, focusing on linguistic markers of local attachment. Her work bridges theoretical and applied linguistics, emphasizing real-world implications of language variation.
- Grants/Projects:
- Voices of Regional Australia (2023–2026): Investigates linguistic patterns tied to regional identity in Australia.
- Assessing Language-Based Discrimination (2023): Examines how speaker accents influence employability judgments.
- Accented Australian English for Acoustic Modelling (2019): Advances speech recognition systems for non-native accents.
She is affiliated with The Migration Hub at ANU and actively supervises research students in sociolinguistics and second language studies.
