معرفی
Catherine Mathon is a teacher-researcher at Bordeaux Montaigne University since 2008, currently holding the rank of Associate Professor. She presented her Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) on December 14, 2023, at the University of Poitiers, focusing on the interface between speech and prosody in specialist discourses.
Her research centers on discourse analysis and prosody, particularly through the study of oral corpora. She has developed a multilingual corpus of televised rugby commentaries, analyzing the relationship between visual actions (such as rugby phases) and prosodic patterns. Her work involves both macro-level analysis (using average F0 values over speech turns) and micro-level analysis (detailed prosodic patterns in relation to semantic-syntactic content).
Mathon's methodological approach emphasizes a data-driven perspective and the integration of image annotations with prosodic parameters to predict melodic events in sports commentary. Her research bridges linguistics, phonetics, and multimodal analysis, contributing to the understanding of how prosody functions in specialized discourse genres.
