  Principales publications et conférences

Ma formation première est en linguistique, traitant des sujets tels que la syntaxe et la phonologie. Je suis revenu dans le domaine de la recherche après avoir travaillé dans le domaine informatique (ASUS). Ce parcours m'a permis de développer (et de continuer à développer actuellement) des compétences en typologie quantitative computationnelle en parallèle avec mes connaissances en linguistique. Mon thème principal de recherche porte donc sur l'élaboration et l'analyse des hypothèses linguistiques en terme de synchronie et diachronie. Vous pouvez accéder à plus de détails sur ma page web personnelle (lien ci-dessus).

RESPONSABILITÉ DE PROJETS


 

EVOGRAM: The role of linguistic and non-linguistic factors in the evolution of nominal classification systems - Junior Researcher Grant (ANR-JCJC) funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR-20-CE27-0021, 166 936 euros) - Principal Investigator. This two-year project (2021-2023) aims at building a database on nominal classification systems to identify the factors affecting their evolution. Lien

 

RELI: Recherche En Linguistique Illustrée [Research In Linguistics Illustrated] - Project funded by the Labex ASLAN (6000 euros) - Principal Investigator. This one-year project (2020-2021) contributes to the valorization of science by popularizing research of the ASLAN laboratories in Lyon in the form of short comics and comic strips. Lien

 

FIELDLING (Funded international school in linguistic fieldwork) - Principal coordinator. FieldLing has been organised on a yearly basis since 2010 (involved units related to the CNRS: LLACAN, SEDYL, LACITO, INALCO, PARIS 3, LABEX EFL). It is at present the only regular (and free) intensive training program in France preparing students to study theories, methods, and the use of technological tools for language description through fieldwork. Lien

 

GIS FOR LANGUAGE STUDY (Funded research environment, Uppsala University) - Principal coordinator. This project of Alexandra Petrulevich (Uppsala University) undertakes a series of seminars and workshops from 2017 to 2019 to explore the analytical tools provided by Geographic Information Systems such as QGIS, thereby giving the faculty's research on location-based materials a lift.
