Hi! I am an associate professor 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 phonetics, phonology, language variation and change, and language ideology. I received my MA and PhD from the Department of English Linguistics at Hacettepe University, and I work as an associate professor in the same department.
