Christopher Palmer
Chris C. Palmer teaches and publishes on present-day and historical English linguistics,
including articles and books on word-formation, historical sociolinguistics, and pedagogy.
Much of his work has examined changes in the use and productivity of nominal suffixes
in English from 1300-1600. More recently, he's been studying teaching at the high
school and university levels of language variation and change in both U.S. and global
Englishes. He's also interested in the language, literature, and culture of medieval
England; the intersections of politics and language; and interdisciplinary connections
between linguistics and writing studies.
