Research interests
My main research topic is natural Language Syntax, which includes :
- descriptive studies of various languages (mainly French),
- syntactic theories (mainly Tree Adjoinig Grammars and Head-driven Phrase Structure
grammar),
- linguistic resources for syntactic processing (that is a wide coverage French grammar
FTAG and an annotated corpus : Paris 7 Treebank)

and French data », with the publication of Hand book of French semantics

formes Faibles », Federation TUL (CNRS)
- 1997-2005 : a gold standard annotated newspaper corpus for French (Paris 7 Treebank).
-
I am now mainly working on the following projects :
a French HPSG grammar (in collaboration with D Godard and I. Sag),
a large descriptive French grammar (Grande Grammaire du français), sponsored by
Institut de Linguistique française (CNRS), directed by A. Delaveau and D. Godard. (2
volumes, 50 authors)
