General presentation

I am an associate professor at the Université Paris Diderot. My research interests mainly focus on Information Structure (topic, focus, contrast...) and its relationship with syntax and prosody. I have mostly been working on oral speech and on Romance languages (Italian, Spanish, Catalan, French). I am also interested in collecting and annotating speech corpora. I am particularly concerned with the annotation of Information Structure categories.

Research interests

  • Interface Structure Informationnelle-syntaxe
  • Interface Structure Informationnelle-prosodie
  • Langues romanes
  • Recueil et annotation de corpus oraux

Research projects

Projet LABEX Empirical Foundations of Linguistics, Axe 2: Experimental grammar:

- Co-responsable (with Shirley Carter-Thomas) of the work package WO2: Preverbal elements crosslinguistically : an informational and discourse perspective

- Member of the work package WO1: Word order preferences among complements (resp. A. Abeillé, B. Crabbé)

Teaching

à Paris Diderot:

  • Formalismes syntaxiques (L3)
  • La Structure Informationnelle dans la grammaire et en contexte (M2) 
  • Grammaire du français (L3)
  • Linguistique française (syntaxe) (L2 Lettres)
