I am interested in French linguistics: syntax, semantics and pragmatics; Ellipsis, thrifty language; prepositions; quantification; intensity; approximation and precision; general unspecified nouns; Meaning-making in comics and other multimodal texts.

As Full Professor in the Department of French Culture at Bar Ilan University I specialize in both French linguistics and Multimodal Discourse Analysis. I was initially interested in ellipsis, thrifty language, and simple and complex prepositions, to which I devoted a book (Ellipse et Régimes des Prépositions Françaises (further reading).
