CURRENT RESEARCH ACTIVITY

My current research focuses on French phonology, specifically on Canadian pronunciation.  I have completed
fieldwork on the French variety spoken in the Peace River region of Alberta, and am analysing this in the context
of the general structure of Canadian French.  This, in turn, is part of an international project, La phonologie du
français contemporain (PFC): usages, variétés et structure (http://www.projet-pfc.net), a project under the direction
of Jacques Durand (ERSS-UMR5610, Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail), Chantal Lyche (Université d’Oslo) and
Bernard Laks (Université de Paris X), for which I was the initial Canadian coordinator.  The broader aims of this
project include an examination of the pronunciation of French in a wide variety of communities throughout La
Francophonie, the testing of a number of phonetic and phonological theories, the exploitation of various techniques
of language processing, and the establishment of a major new database on French phonology to complement those
already available.
