Présentation

My academic background is in general linguistics, including topics such as syntax and phonology. I worked in the computer industry (ASUS) before coming back to academia. I developed along the way (and I am also still developing) skills in quantitative computational typology and in linguistics to investigate and/or develop existing linguistic hypotheses in terms of synchrony and diachrony. For more details and a full list of publications, please refer to [my website](https://marctang.github.io). **Professional background** - 2021 – present: CNRS Researcher.
