Description:

As part of the ANR CLASS, the thesis project is in the field of L2 acquisition
with a situated approach to language cognition. It consists of studying
longitudinally the development of the expression of temporality in French L2
by adult speakers of Syrian Arabic currently living in France. Previous work
on conceptualizing events and building narratives in L2 agree that previously
acquired languages influence the way learners understand and relate events
(Carroll & Lambert, 2006; von Stutterheim et al., 2012). These studies are
mainly interested in the role of grammaticalized and lexicalized categories in
L1 in the conceptualization and verbalization of events in L2. There is little
work, however, on the role of socio-cultural factors in the perception,
selection and encoding of temporal information, be it the social conventions
specific to a social group or to a linguistic community (Klein & von
Stutterheim, 2002), or culturally anchored experiential processes (I-Wen Su,
2002, 2021). 

The doctoral student will work in an interdisciplinary team. He / she will be
required to perform the various tasks of collecting, processing and analyzing
language and behavioral data, in particular oculometric data. In addition, he
/ she will collaborate with the CLASS project team (Lecturers and senior
lecturers, postdoctoral fellow, study engineer expert in oculometry and
student trainees).

sciences related to language acquisition.

learners. 
- Experience in setting up an experimental protocol for the collection of
language data. 
- Experience in the field of language data processing and mastery of software
used for the transcription, processing and analysis of learner productions. 
- Strong and engaging personal intercultural experiences. 
- Autonomy, adaptability and organizational capacities. 
- Very good command of French and ideally an Arabic language (standard Arabic
and / or a language spoken in the Middle East or in the Maghreb). 
- Good command of academic English. 

Desired skills: 
- Knowledge of exile situations.
