- Transferts critiques anglophones (TransCrit)
Présentation
Mégane Lesuisse is an Associate Professor in English linguistics at the University Paris 8 Vincennes St Denis. Her research interests lie in cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics, and include the verbalisation and the conceptualisation of spatial events in French, English and Dutch, with a focus on the role of interaction and event canonicity for the influence of language on thought Her current projects involve eye-tracking, corpus linguistics and interactive experimental designs. She is also interested in the cognitive impact of those cross-linguistic differences and their consequences for second language learning and teaching. Another research project of hers concerns the cognitive impact of gender stereotypes in the English language.
