Andreea S. Calude               


I am a NZ FRST Research Fellow based at the University of Reading, in Reading, UK. My current research investigates language variation and change from an evolutionary perspective, using methods traditionally used in biology and adapted for language phenomena. Additionally, I also work on projects involving the organisation of spoken grammar and the structuring of information in conversation. My research is funded by the New Zealand Foundation for Research Science and Technology
