Dr. James Grama

James was a post-doctoral fellow on the Sydney Speaks project from 2017-2019, following which he became a Research Fellow in the Sociolinguistics Lab at the Department of Anglophone Studies at the University of Duisburg-Essen. He completed his PhD at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (2015) where he focused largely on vocalic variation in English and English-based varieties. His work on California English, Hawaiʻi English, and Hawaiʻi Creole has investigated the ways in which phonetic variation is correlated with social factors and sound change over time. In his research, he uses quantitative acoustic measures along with rigorous statistical models to describe how changes in linguistic varieties have taken shape, especially in heterogeneous communities.
