About Peter
Peter K. W. Tan is senior lecturer in the Department of English Language and Literature, National University of Singapore and became a SAAL member pretty soon after completing his PhD in the Department of Applied Linguistics, University of Edinburgh in 1989. He was initially more focused on research on dramatic language and literary stylistics, but has since moved on to explore the development of English, in particular the hybridity of the non-Anglo Englishes of South-east Asia; computer-mediated communication and naming (posh word: onomastics). He has various journal articles, book chapters and a book on these. Apart from these, he enjoys swimming, gardening, Scottish country dancing, singing and playing instruments with the music group in church, and tussling with his children.
