Rachelle Vessey
Rachelle Vessey is an Assistant Professor in the School of Linguistics and Language Studies at Carleton University. Her research centres on beliefs about language (language ideologies) and how these manifest in discourse (specifically: newspapers, digital communication, language policy texts, and spoken discourse). She is particularly interested in how beliefs about language contribute to social inclusion and exclusion, especially in national contexts. She has examined language ideologies in large corpora of (English and French) Canadian newspapers, online forums, interviews with domestic workers, United Nations official documents and extremist magazines.
