the author
My name is Guillaume Desagulier. I am interested in cognitive linguistics, construction grammar, corpus linguistics, NLP, sociolinguistics, and language change. I have published extensively on (Diachronic) Construction Grammar.
I am full professor of English Linguistics at Bordeaux-Montaigne University. I am a researcher at CLIMAS. I hold a PhD from Bordeaux-Montaigne University (2005) and a Habilitation from Université de Paris (2016).
I am the recipient of a 5-year honorary position (2017-2022) at the Institut Universitaire de France, a division of the French Ministry of Higher Education that distinguishes university professors for their research excellence.
I am the author of a reference textbook on corpus linguistics with R: Corpus Linguistics and Statistics with R (New York: Springer). I have a research blog: Around the word, A corpus linguist’s notebook, where I record reflections and experiments on my practice as a usage-based corpus linguist.
the blog
Around the word delves into corpus linguistics, its theoretical relevance, and its applications. While presenting and discussing the text-mining apparatus used in traditional corpus linguistics, the blog introduces the reader to more recent techniques that I wish I had come across much earlier in my career. Although deeply rooted in the study of language, this blog serves as a bridge to other disciplines, such as the digital humanities, natural language processing, statistics, and artificial intelligence.
