Khalil Hamidi

Visiting Researcher

Khalil Hamidi is a PhD researcher in Applied Language Studies specializing in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA), and cross-cultural communication. His research examines how language, visuals, and design shape meaning in institutional and digital communication, with a particular focus on inclusive communication for non-native English users. Drawing on discourse studies, social semiotics, genre theory, and intercultural communication, I investigate how multimodal resources construct identities, negotiate power relations, and influence accessibility across cultural contexts. His broader research interests include discourse and society, digital communication, institutional discourse, multilingualism, plain language, intercultural pragmatics, and the role of multimodality in public communication.
