Seminar Boundaries in Spoken French: unit types and segmentation methods in syntax
BA and MA in Linguistics and Humanities, 28 hours.
Starting from the traditional definitions of syntax units, such as the sentence and the clause, we will address the problematic nature of these units in spoken language (Groupe de Fribourg 2012). The aim of this course is twofold: on the one hand, we will present the main methods of segmentation of spoken French in the fields of syntax and macro-syntax (Lacheret-Dujour et al. 2019), and the approaches on which they rely (Blanche-Benveniste et al. 1990, Blanche-Benveniste 2010); on the other hand, the treatment of recurring problematic cases, in particular syntactic « disfluences » (Crible 2018), will be discussed. We will work on extracts issued from online databases, which collect various corpora of spoken French.
Proposals challenging traditional grammatical categories (e. g. Ford et al. 2013) will also be presented.
I supervised the research papers (Seminararbeiten) proposed by four students in relation to seminar topics.

- Lecture (Cours Magistral/Travaux Dirigés) Interaction Analysis
MA in Linguistics, 1st year, 30 hours.
This course provides an introduction to interactional linguistics. First, we will deal with the machinery of the speaking tours, the preference organization in conversation, repair, topic management. Then, we will focus on the sequential and interactional characterization of certain syntactic configurations; the relevance of multimodal resources for the study of talk-in-interaction will also be discussed. - Lecture (Cours magistral/Travaux Dirigés) Language and Social Interaction
MA in Linguistics, 1st year, 24 hours.
The sociolinguistic approach to interactions mobilizes different analytical tools to study linguistic practices both as sequentially constructed by speakers, i.e. turn by turn, influencing and influenced by contextual elements. We will see that the interactional study of certain discourse markers makes it possible to grasp the contextual use of these forms and to define their functions.

Lecture (Vorlesung) Syntax, Discourse, and Interaction: constructions in spoken corpora
BA and MA in Linguistics and Humanities, 24 hours.
This lecture will focus on certain syntactic facts and discursive configurations of spoken French in interaction. The exploration of databases of oral corpora (CLAPI, ESLO, OFROM, TCOF, among others) will provide an empirical basis for the illustration of the so-called « unmarked » syntactic constructions, « dispositifs » (Blanche-Benveniste et al., 1990), as well as some specific configurations such as dislocations, object-fronting and cleft constructions. We will discuss the analysis that macrosyntactic approaches (the Aix one, Blanche-Benveniste 2010, and the Swiss one, Fribourg Group 2012) propose for these configurations. We will get an in-depth look at them by considering the studies that some researchers have carried out from an informational (Lambrecht 1994) and an interactional perspective (e.g. Pekarek Doehler et al., 2015).
