Research
I'm a psycholinguist specializing in experimental sociolinguistics, currently Research Engineer at the ALTAE (URP 3967) and LLF (CNRS UMR 7110) labs, Université Paris Cité. I study language as a socially situated ability: my current work centers on linguistic variation and its relationship to norms and social meaning, with French wh-interrogatives and other syntactic alternations as testing grounds, combining corpus and experimental data, formal models of variant choice, and inferential statistics in both Bayesian and frequentist frameworks. My research is driven by two questions:
- How are language production and comprehension modulated at the sentence level by sentence-external factors such as context, individual goals, and social properties (e.g., socioeconomic backgrounds, cultural worlds, normative views on language)?
- How does the relationship between language and the social properties of communication develop in an individual?
