Projet ARISE – Artistic Responses and Interactions for School Inclusion and Education

The project “T is for Treu, but how do you pronounce that? Integrating pronunciation respellings into multimodal language learning resources” aims to help teachers and heritage learners of the Drehu language, spoken by the indigenous Kanak people of New Caledonia, to correctly pronounce words by addressing conflicts between written and spoken language. Specifically, the project focuses on the word ‘treu’, which means ‘moon’ in Drehu. The challenge is that the pronunciation of ‘treu’ may be influenced by the French language, leading to incorrect pronunciation.

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.
