Abstract
Bert Peeters was an exceptional scholar and colleague who left us prematurely on 22 February 2021 following a battle with brain cancer. Bert’s life and his work were infused with a passion for French linguistics, semantics, culture, applied ethnolinguistics and language pedagogy. He will be long remembered for his ability to combine these fields and for bringing Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) research to European scholars.
期刊介绍:
Journal of French Language Studies, sponsored by the Association for French Language Studies, encourages and promotes theoretical, descriptive and applied studies of all aspects of the French language. The journal brings together research from the English- and French-speaking traditions, publishing significant work on French phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis and semantics, sociolinguistics and variation studies. Most work is synchronic in orientation, but historical and comparative items are also included. Studies of the acquisition of the French language, where these take due account of current theory in linguistics and applied linguistics, are also published.
