French linguist (born 1949) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claire Moyse-Faurie (born 7 October 1949)[1] is a French linguist specializing in Oceanic languages, in particular the languages of Wallis and Futuna and of New Caledonia.
Moyse-Faurie studied with the linguist André-Georges Haudricourt.[2] After many years working at LACITO (CNRS) from 1980 onwards, including serving as its deputy director from 1992 to 1995, Moyse-Faurie became emeritus director of research at Lattice in 2021.[3][4][5] She held a visiting position as professor at the University of New Caledonia in 2004, 2005, 2013, 2014 and 2015.[4]
Moyse-Faurie was appointed Member of the Academia Europaea in 2016.[6] She also served as President of the Société de Linguistique de Paris in 2012.[4][7]
Alongside descriptive studies of Oceanic languages (Drehu, Xârâcùù, Xârâgurè, West Uvean, Haméa, East Futunan, East Uvean), Moyse-Faurie has worked on linguistic topics such as valency, nominalization, reflexives, reciprocals, grammaticalization, and linguistic typology.[6] In 1982 she proposed an orthography for this language, which has subsequently been used in teaching; she also published a dictionary of Xârâcùù together with Marie-Adèle Néchérö-Jorédié in 1986.[2]
