Georgette Dal

Georgette Dal is a Full Professor at the University of Lille, affiliated with the Faculty of Humanities and the Language Sciences Department (UMR 8163 - STL: Savoirs, Textes, Langages). Her research focuses on constructional morphology, morphological productivity, and usage-based linguistics, with a strong emphasis on corpus analysis and digital resources like the Démonette-2 database. She led the ANR DEMONEXT project (2017-2022) to develop morphological databases for speech therapy applications.

• Research Themes: Constructional morphology, productivity, corpus linguistics, lexematic morphology
• Projects: FRANLEX (1997-2003), MorTAL (2000-2003), DEMONEXT (2017-2022)

Her work bridges theoretical morphology with applied linguistics, particularly in speech therapy and language education. She has collaborated extensively with computational linguists and psycholinguists, contributing to debates on the autonomy of morphology, category boundaries, and the role of analogy in lexical construction.

Recent studies include the morphological analysis of French adjectives in -eux and the development of participatory research frameworks for clinical partnerships. Her advocacy for internet-based data has transformed French morphological research methodologies.
