I am a linguist, and I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. Before that, I was a SSHRC post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Linguistics at the Université du Québec à Montréal. I hold a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Toronto. My main areas of study include formal syntax and variationist sociolinguistics; and I employ quantitative methods and naturalistic data from my own fieldwork to conduct my investigations. My research focuses on the Inuit language, particularly Inuktitut varieties. French is my mother tongue, and I am also fluent in English.
Some of the linguistic phenomena that I have worked on are:
- Morphosyntactic alignment change
- Word order
- New-dialect formation
- Topicality and the left periphery
- Referentiality of bare nouns
