Julien Eychenne

Julien Eychenne serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Arts, Languages and Literatures at Sorbonne Nouvelle University, specializing in phonetic and phonological analysis of French with global applications.

His academic credentials include:

• B.A. from University of Toulouse-Le Mirail (France)
• M.A. from University of Toulouse-Le Mirail (France)
• Ph.D. from University of Toulouse-Le Mirail (France)
• Postdoctoral studies at University of Calgary and Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium)
• Habilitation from University of Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense (France)

Research spans phonetics, phonology, quantitative linguistics, second language acquisition, bilingualism, and linguistic engineering. He leads two major international initiatives: the Phonology of Contemporary French (PFC) project documenting global Francophone speech patterns, and the Interphonology of Contemporary French (IPFC) project investigating French acquisition by non-native speakers. Concurrently, he co-develops Phonometrica, an open-source platform for speech corpus annotation and analysis.

His publication record reveals consistent focus on empirical phonological studies, particularly French dialect variation (Marseille nasalization, Southern French schwa deletion) and cross-linguistic Korean phonology research, demonstrating methodological integration of corpus linguistics with theoretical modeling.

Eychenne maintains active collaborations through international research networks and computational linguistics development, notably advancing tools for phonetic analysis within the Phonometrica project framework.
