Presentations: Christopher Strelluf
Christopher Strelluf presented two papers at the International Conference on English Historical Linguistics, held in Milan in June 2026.

The papers were:
- Strelluf, C. & Gordon, M. J. Regional variation in 19th-century Missouri English.
- Strelluf, C. & Asprey, E. “An accent exceedingly rare”: The historical emergence of a sociolinguistically “liminal” English in Coventry, England.
