About me

What are your dreams?

Jodie Clark, linguist and fiction writer

Here are some of mine:

Dream #1: To be a writer.

Dream #2: To study linguistics.

Dream #3: To help create a more welcoming world.

I’m a linguist at Sheffield Hallam University. I write fiction about how intimacy is embedded in the structure of language. The idea at the heart of all my work, both scholarly and creative, is that when people inhabit language, it transforms worlds.

Are you a dreamer too? Are you as intrigued with language as I am? Would you like to stay in touch? You are always very welcome here.
