Prof. Anne-Marie Houdebine-Gravaud (Université René Descartes Paris V Sorbonne)
Prof. Anne-Marie HOUDEBINE-GRAVAUD deals with general linguistics and semiology; she lectures at the Paris 5 university. Her doctoral thesis (1979) about variations of the French language (phonological system) in Poitou, written under guidance of André Martineta, which made use of input from approx. 1200 questionnaires, may be considered one of the first sociolinguistic works in France.
Anne-Marie Houdebine-Gravaud launched the notion of “imaginaire linguistique” – also used by other scholars, which permits taking into account the participation of language users in the dynamics of language change (L’imaginaire linguistique, L’Harmattan, 2002).
With commitment she took part in committee work concerning feminisation of names of professions, titles and functions (1984-1986). 1998 saw the publication of a collection of studies under her leadership, presenting this matter in the French language and other languages (La féminisation des noms de métiers. En français et dans dutres langues, l’Harmattan).
The interest in linguistic variety on account of gender, the problem of sexism in language and discourse, the images of women in various communication finds permanent reflection in Anne-Marie Houdebine-Gravaud’s publications.
Prof. A.-M. Houdebine-Gravaud delivered two lectures in the Institute of French Studies:
