About
Christopher Hart is a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Linguistics at Northumbria University. He grew up in Norwich and studied linguistics at the University of East Anglia. He received his PhD in Linguistics from Lancaster University in 2009.
His main research interests lie in cognitive and naturalistic approches to language, manipulation and ideology. In particular, he advocates a Cognitive Linguistic approach to Critical Discourse Analysis, which he has applied primarily in studies of anti-immigration discourse. The principle aim of this approach is to demonstrate theoretically how linguistic constructions in texts can impact on the way that socio-political situations and events are conceptualised. He is also interested in relationships between argument and adapted cognition, drawing on a theoretical synergy between Evolutionary Psychology and Argumentation Theory. Other areas of interest include cognitive lexical semantics, cognitive metaphor theory, corpus linguistics, and cognitive pragmatics.
