His work integrates computational methods with historical corpora to analyze sound-letter relationships.
Recent publications address dialect contact in Ireland, early Scots spelling systems, and phonotactic changes. He has presented on diachronic phonotactics, Scots dialects, and phonological shifts at international conferences.
