Bio

Emmanuel Hérique's research and teaching interest is in language and linguistics. With MAs and BAs in French, English and Linguistics, he holds a Doctorate in French Linguistics. He also holds a BA in Arabic and studied Japanese. Interested in all technical aspects of language (grammar, phonetics, translation, semantics and syntax), he progressively moved from theoretical linguistics to applications such as teaching, translating and editing text. He is currently editing texts and letters related to the French quest of the "Western Sea" by explorer La Vérendrye (1830-1850).
