Dr Anna Wilson
REES Head of Language Studies and Teaching Fellow & Director of the International Multimodal Communication Centre (OSGA)
I am engaged in research in the fields of cognitive linguistics, media linguistics, critical discourse analysis, multimodal communication analysis of Russian and international media. My interests range from viewpoint construction in media discourse and multimodal communication, analysis of co-speech gesture, metaphor, counter-factuality and parody to the use of cognitive linguistic methods in interdisciplinary research and interdisciplinary learning in social sciences and humanities.
