Her research examines linguistic ideologies in language contact scenarios, with particular focus on media representation of linguistic practices. She investigates how radio and print media circulate language ideologies, analyzes graphic representation of local varieties in Acadian newspapers like Le Courrier de la Nouvelle-Écosse, and explores phonetic variations in accent-based inclusion/exclusion dynamics. Her work bridges theoretical sociolinguistics with community-focused Acadian language studies.
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on bilingual advertising spaces and historical media representations, revealing patterns in how linguistic practices are staged and normalized through cultural institutions. Her 2016 article on Quebec's cultural radio advertising exemplifies this media-centered approach to language ideology.
