Hi! I'am a research assistant in the Department of English Linguistics
in the Faculty of Letters at Hacettepe University.
As a sociolinguist, my primary interest is in the social meaning-making process visible through language variation.
Related to this, I am interested in language variation and change.
I received my MA and PhD from the Department of English Linguistics at Hacettepe University,
and I work as a research assistant in the same department.
