Welcome to Dr. Graham Johnson, Lecturer in Spanish!

Dr. Johnson holds a Ph.D. in Hispanic Linguistics from the University of Georgia at Athens.

His main field of study is pragmatics, with specific interest in discourse analytical methods, discourse markers, pragmatic variation, and expression of deictic reference in interactive contexts. Other areas of interest that influence his work are queer linguistics, language attitudes (specifically towards inclusive language forms/lenguaje inclusivo), and historical linguistics.
