Dr Kate Tallon

I am a Tutor at the University of Oxford, working in the Faculties of  Medieval & Modern Languages, and Linguistics, Philology & Phonetics. In 2024-25 I have been teaching undergraduate courses in Phonetics & Phonology and in French Linguistics, and postgraduate courses in Phonetics.

From May 2025 I will also be joining Oxford's Centre for Teaching and Learning as an Educational Development Advisor, focussing on Student-Staff Partnerships within the university.

My recent research focuses on sociophonetic variation of English spoken in Ireland (Irish English), particularly in the context of language contact between Irish and English.

After completing my BA in French and Linguistics at Oxford, I gained an MA in Linguistics at UCL and a PhD at Trinity College Dublin.
