ARCHERIF project aims to design innovative and creative teaching resources to tackle racism more effectively on French campuses.

ARCHERIF has four main objectives:

Variation and change are inherent to language. While this is an uncontroversial statement in linguistics, the mechanisms that steer language variation and change are debated. Our project addresses this debate by investigating variation and change in the nominal classification systems of the Bantu languages, a.k.a. grammatical gender systems. Bantu is one of the world’s largest language families. At each of the borders of the Bantu spread zone – northwestern, northeastern, and southern – Bantu languages are in contact with other language families that we investigate.

A study of advanced abilities to attribute mental states to others in adolescents.

The overall objective of this research project is to study the development of advanced abilities to attribute mental states (intentions, beliefs, knowledge, etc.) to others during adolescence. These abilities, also known as theory of mind (ToM), play a fundamental role in our daily social interactions, such as conversations.

 

What if, tomorrow, you were suddenly unable to communicate? What would you wish for? Currently, writing or a computer can replace your speech or voice, but perhaps you would dream of having your ability to communicate restored? That is the goal of the OLINPIC project: to restore communication by automatically modifying impaired speech units through the combined expertise of the humanities, computer science, and health sciences. Communication difficulties can affect patients with speech disorders or second-language learners whose articulation problems impair intelligibility.
