The cybersport nexus (2014)
Book Chapter

Exercise machines increasingly incorporate computer-controlled motion and force feedback and will eventually become reactive robotic sports partners.…Today’s rudimentary, narrowband video games will evolve into physically engaging telesports.

The pleasures of reification : Kelvin Corcoran's lyric lyric (2014)
Book Chapter

This chapter examines the use of the term 'reification' in Kelvin Corcoran's poetry and reflects on its relevance for understanding a poetics driven by a fascination for the history and material properties of writing.

Scottish slang (2014)
Book Chapter

As Görlach has observed, ‘There is no dictionary or comprehensive monograph devoted to Scottish slang’ (2002: 119). This lacuna can be partially explained by the history of attitudes to the two language varieties known as Scots and Scottish English,... Read More about Scottish slang.
