About   Publications   CV


I'm a postdoctoral fellow in French linguistics at the Université de Neuchâtel as a member of the Institut des sciences du langage, where I work with Corinne Rossari. Before that, I was working as a research engineer at the Laboratoire Ligérien de Linguistique at the Université d'Orléans on the oral corpus of spoken interaction ESLO. I defended my dissertation: "Expletive Negation: from imperatives to connectives. A formal diachronic approach/ La négation explétive: des impératifs aux connecteurs. Approche diachronique et formelle", in April 2022, at the Institut Jean Nicod of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, written under the supervision of Alda Mari.

My research focuses on a variety of semantic phenomena in both a synchronic and diachronic approach to the French language. In my research, I employ the methods of textual data analysis and corpus linguistics with the aim of testing, revising and refining existing semantic hypotheses. I study more specifically the means of expressing the category of thought that negation is, on the basis of data from medieval language and also on a purely logical level.
