Wes Robertson is a sociolinguist with a focus on the linguistics of written Japanese, exploring sociolinguistic motivations and styles, particularly in the context of script use. His research spans various aspects of language and identity, examining how writing practices serve as social markers for stance and identity. He is particularly interested in the variation found in written language, including alternative spellings and the use of different scripts that recreate the phonetic nuances of spoken language. His work also investigates the intersections of language play and humor, along with language ideologies, planning, and policy within Asian contexts. He teaches introductory Japanese courses at Macquarie University and has contributed significantly to the study of language play and non-standard language use in community language settings.
