While at the University of Toronto, I was a member of the CorpusMiners research group, investigating diachronic change in the inflectional system of English. We explored the rise of the modal future 'will' and the brief availability of transitive expletives in the history of English. The group consisted of Elizabeth Cowper (PI), Daniel Currie Hall, Bronwyn Bjorkman, Rebecca Tollan, and myself.
