User:Domergue Sumien

I am Domergue Sumien and I am a teacher in Occitan language. I have a Phd in linguistics (Occitan Studies, Université Paul Valéry, Montpellier) and a postgraduate certificate in history (Université de provence, Aix-en-Provence).

I was born in 1968 and I live near Toulon and Aix-en-Provence (Provence).

My main research fields are:

• Linguistics
  • Romance languages, especially Occitan and Catalan
  • Sociolinguistics, especially language planning and language ideology
  • Lexicography and lexicology
• History, especially the analysis of afrocentrism in Cheikh Anta Diop's works and their ideological issues concerning large scale history, large scale comparative linguistics and language planning.
