Biography

I am a grant researcher in postgraduate studies at the Centre for Applied Language Studies. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics with Philosophy from the University of Ghana, an MA in Linguistics (Bergen, Norway), and an MPhil in Linguistics (NTNU, Norway). From August 2018 until the commencement of this study, I taught Academic Writing and Critical Thinking at the University of Energy and Natural Resources, Sunyani, Ghana. I have done some research work in the Bono dialect of Akan in serial verb construction, and the inherent meaning of generic verbs of Bono. My research interests include Academic Writing Development of undergraduate students, academic literacies, reading, and syntax and Semantics of the Bono dialect of Akan. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) are areas I am exploring for my research. I am a member of the University Teachers Association of Ghana and a member of the reviewers of the Bono Bible translation of the Bible Society of Ghana.
