Dr. Linda Waugh
Co-Director
Professor Waugh is both a French linguist and a general linguist, as well as a semiotician. Her main interests are in the function of linguistic structures (of all types), in the discourse-pragmatics of language, in written textual analysis (including journalistic and narrative texts), spoken discourse analysis (she has supervised the gathering of corpora for spoken French and American English), corpus linguistics, applied linguistics, grammatical and lexical semantics, history of linguistics, semiotics, and in the way language is integrated with other socio-cultural (semiotic) systems by which humans communicate and make sense of our world. Much of her data for research in these areas is centered on French, although she has worked on English as well. She has directed dissertations on many different languages of Europe, Asia (East, Southeast and South Asia), North Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific. In addition to over 60 articles, she has authored, co-authored, and co-edited 11 books.
