From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jack Grieve (born 1979) is a Canadian linguist. Since 2017, he has been employed as a Professor of Corpus Linguistics at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom[1]. He received his PhD in 2009 in Applied Linguistics under the supervision of Douglas Biber at the Northern Arizona University[1]. Previously, he was employed as a post-doctoral research fellow in Dirk Geeraerts's Quantitative Lexicology and Variational Linguistics research unit at the University of Leuven in Belgium and then as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer in Forensic Linguistics at the Centre for Forensic Linguistics at Aston University in the United Kingdom[1]. He was also a Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute[1]. In addition to numerous journal articles and book chapters, he has published two books: Regional Variation in Written American English[2][3][4][5] and The Language of Fake News[6].

His main research interest involves studying language variation and change through the computational analysis of large corpora of natural language, known as computational sociolinguistics[7][8]. Much of his research in this area has focused on regional dialect variation in the English language based on large corpora of newspaper articles[2] and social media data[9][10][11], including mapping the use of interjections[12][13] and profanity[14][15][16]. He has also studied the spread of neologisms in American English[17][18][19][20][21][22]. In addition, he has conducted research in the field of authorship analysis, including investigations into the authorship of the Bitcoin white paper[23][24][25], the Bixby Letter[26][27][28], and Donald Trump's social media posts[29][30][31].
