Irina Rigaudie serves as a Lecturer at the Institute of Technology (IUT A) of the University of Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier, within the Department of French Professions: Journalism and Communication (MFJA). She is an active member of the French Association of Functional Systemic Linguistics (AFLSF).

Her educational background includes:

• Doctoral degree (2006) from the University of Brest, with a thesis titled "Temporality in narrative logogenesis, Perspective of rapprochement through the linguistic study of two novels: The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje and Starik by Yuri Trifonov".

Dr. Rigaudie's research expertise lies in discourse analysis and systemic functional linguistics, with a particular focus on diachronic studies of specialized languages. She investigates the process of language specialization and the emergence of pre-professional identity in higher education (BUT training). Her work spans historical contexts, such as 19th century Alaska missionary discourse, and contemporary issues like sustainable development communication.

Her publications reveal a consistent interdisciplinary approach, connecting linguistic analysis with historical, religious, and environmental domains. The thematic threads across her work include the study of temporality, verbal forms, and the socio-professional dimensions of language use.
