I am a French and Scottish Associate Professor at the Université Paris-Cité, working in the ALTAE linguistics lab.

My research focuses on issues in usage-based cognitive linguistics (especially Construction Grammar), sociolinguistics and English dialectology, and language variation and change, with interests in a range of empirical and quantitative methods.

This website provides a summary of my activities, as well as means of getting in touch.
