Research Interests: Interactional Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Multimodality, Macrosyntax, Syntax, Multi-Level Annotation, Speech Corpora
I am a linguist working on naturally occurring interactions in Romance languages, especially French and Italian, with a major focus on multimodal analysis of video data.
Currently, I am a Lecturer and Research Assistant (Attaché Temporaire d'Enseignement et de Recherche) in French Linguistics at Aix-Marseille University, Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and a member of the Laboratoire Parole et Langage. I am also a Research Associate at the ICAR Lab - École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (France).
In 2019-2020, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the ATILF Lab - University of Lorraine (France), working on video-corpora for didactic purposes within the FLEURON project (French as a Foreign Language at University: Digital Resources and Tools).
I worked on the ANR/DFG project "SegCor: Segmentation of Oral Corpora" [2017-2019]. The aim of this project is to develop a method of segmentation for oral/interactional language data that is adequate for the analyses of data from talk-in-interaction at different levels (prosody, chunking, syntax, macrosyntax) and for various communities of researchers. The development of a method of segmentation for interactional units (i.e. Turn-Constructional Units) was the focus of my research activity as a Visiting Researcher at the Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache (Pragmatics Department) in Mannheim [2019].
I obtained my PhD in Linguistics at the Lumière University Lyon 2 in 2016, under the supervision of Véronique Traverso and Sandra Teston-Bonnard. My PhD project was funded by the ASLAN Laboratory of Excellence (Advanced Studies on Language Complexity). From a perspective relying on interactional linguistics and Aix macrosyntax, I carried out a mixed analysis in order to study both sequential and syntactic characterisations of initiative and reactive actions in sequences involving rejection.
In 2015-2016, I was a Lecturer and Research Assistant in French Linguistics at the Aix-Marseille University. Then, I have been a Research Engineer at the ICAR Lab (CNRS), working on database processing and analysis [2016].
I taught Pragmatics, Corpus Linguistics, Interactional Linguistics, Syntax and Sociolinguistics at the Lumière University Lyon 2 from 2012 to 2019. More recently, I taught Syntax & Pragmatics at the University of Basel and gave seminars on Interactional Linguistics at the University of Lorraine in Nancy [2019-2020], as a Lecturer (Chargé de cours).
