DR. MOHAMMED ADAM MOHAMMED TAHA

Mohammed Taha is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Arabic Language and Middle Eastern Languages. He obtained his PhD in Theoretical Linguistics (Morphology and Syntax) from the National University of Malaysia in 2016, an MSc in Linguistics from the University of Malaya in 2012, and a Bachelor of TESL from Omdurman Islamic University in 2007. His primary area of expertise is Linguistic Structure, particularly Syntax—the study of how words combine to form grammatical structures—and Morphology—the study of word formation and internal word structure. His work in syntax engages with its interfaces with other core components of language, including semantics (meaning), phonology (sound structure), morphology (word structure), and Artificial Intelligence and Language Modelling (the use of computational models and machine learning techniques to analyze, model, and understand language structure, processing, and usage). His research interests include Syntactic Theory, the Syntax–Morphology and Syntax–Semantics Interfaces, Ecolinguistics (the interdisciplinary study of the relationship between language, culture, and the environment), Sociosyntax (the study of syntactic variation influenced by social factors), and Forensic Linguistics (the application of linguistic knowledge and methods to legal and forensic contexts, including language and the law, crime investigation, and judicial procedures).
