Annual Meetings of the French Network of Phonology
June 27-29, 2023 — Lille (France)
I am a linguist, an English teacher and a phonetician.
I initially studied translation in Chile and was passionate about translation analysis—trying to understand how language structures and ideas are modified when someone translates them from one language to another.
I then became interested in language teaching, so I moved to France. There, I started teaching Spanish and then English. I realized that, just as structures and ideas are transformed when translated, so are the structures and sounds of a language when someone learns it as a second or foreign language.
My research currently consists in analyzing through phonetics how learners acquire the phonemes, rhythm and intonation of the language they are learning. I particularly enjoy working with big corpora of audio or video data to find regularities and try to make things out of them—i.e. understanding the way a learner's interlanguage behaves.
