As part of the Labex EFL International Chair call, a dozen professors or high-level researchers with an international reputation, specialized in one of Labex’s research fields, can be awarded an annual Labex EFL Chair. The recipients of the Chair are welcomed by one of Labex’s partner teams for 4 weeks and can enjoy the environment. They participate in the life of this team or Labex labs during the duration of their stay and may be asked to interact with doctoral candidates Labex EFL. They provide a weekly two-hour doctoral seminar on a research topic that contributes significantly to the EFL project.
Since 2012, 55 professors have benefited from a Labex EFL Chair:
Vidéo : Le développement du rire chez l’enfant
Partez à la découverte du fonctionnement du rire chez l’enfant grâce aux travaux de Chiara Mazzocconi.
VC5 Towards a typology of codeswitching through multifactorial analysis of plurilingual corpora (Prolongation of former LC1)
Leader : Isabelle Léglise This research program investigates codeswitching and contact phenomena through multifactorial analysis of plurilingual corpora. It aims at 1) critically examining the typology of terms proposed in the literature and 2) devising a typology of...
VC4 Variation and contact between closely related languages
Leaders : Isabelle Léglise, Stefano Manfredi This project aims at developing a fine-grained analysis of the contact dynamics involving closely related languages. Based on heterogeneous (i.e. multistylistic and multidialectal) corpora, it has for ambition to typologize...
VC3 Syntactic variation in creole languages
Leaders : Stefano Manfredi, Nicolas Quint One of the main problems in typologizing syntactic structures on the basis of (semi)spontaneous data is represented by the high degree of individual variation affecting these structures. This is especially true for creole...
VC2 Central Gallo-Romance : linguistics and ecology of a transitional zone
Leader : Nicolas Quint Our research group intends to develop a multidisplinary approach of the gallo-romance varieties of the linguistic Crescent, which represent a fascinating case study for contact linguistics, as these varieties display simultaneously Oilic and...
VC1 Languages, dialects and isoglosses of West Asia
Leaders : Anaïd Donabedian, Pollet Samvelian The configuration of West Asia is valuable for modelling the notion of linguistic area and the interaction of dialectology/contact/typology . The project has internationally recognised skills (Armenian, Iranian languages)...
GL8 Extended grammars
Leader : Emilie Aussant The history of language description can be seen as a major, more or less successful, undertaking of adaptation of linguistic tools initially shaped to describe or represent a (very) small amount of languages: of the many thousands of languages...
GL7 Reconstruction, genealogy, typology and grammatical description in the world’s two biggest phyla: Niger- Congo and Austronesian
Leaders : Isabelle Bril, Alexandre François, Mark van de Velde The rising prominence of typological approaches to the study of language universals and of evolutionary approaches to explanation in linguistics entails a renewed interest in the classification of the...
GL6 Text corpora for Mande languages
Leader : Valentin Vydrin This operation, which has started in the first phase of the LABEX, is reaching a stage of maturity. During the first stage main electronic tools necessary for the functioning of the parallel corpora, syntactically annotated corpora and...
GL5 Morphosyntax in discourse
Leaders : Katharina Haude, Tatiana Nikitina Based on discourse corpora of genealogically and typologically distinct languages, we investigate the grammatical constructions that speakers actually use when describing events – in particular, events involving two or more...
