  I am a PhD student at the University of Granada, Spain. I have been attached to the 'English and German Department' in this university for four years as a FPU member (funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science). I hold a Master's Degree in 'English Literature and Linguistics' (2008). At the moment, I am at the last stage of my PhD dissertation, a corpus stylistic study of Jackie Kay's poetic collection 'The Adoption Papers' (Kay, 1991:10-34). My research field is Stylistics, Scottish Literature, and Corpus Linguistics. I spent one year at Edinburgh University as an Erasmus undergraduate student. Later, as a PhD student, I stayed four months at Glasgow University, under the supervision of Dr. Gerry Carruthers, and three months at Birmingham University, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Toolan. I have presented papers at several international conferences such as Spinning Scotland, CLAVIER 09, CILC 09,PALA 2010, ESSE-10, CL2011 and AEDEAN 32. Some of my publications are “Jackie Kay's Representation of 'The Broons': Scotland's Happy Family” (in eSharp, Special Issue, 2009: 109-143) or "'Language at its most rich': Jackie Kay's 'I always wanted to give birth'" (in Amengual, Juan and Salazar. 2009. 'New Perspectives on English Studies', pp.182-188). Less
