My research is centered on morphology, phonology, and the phonology-morphology/ morphology-syntax interfaces. I have also done work on language contact, variation and change. My authored and co-authored publications in these areas focus on Moroccan languages, mainly Amazigh and Moroccan Arabic. My research interests extend to applied sociolinguistics and university pedagogy, particularly the integration of ICT in teaching.
Although most of my work focuses on the Tashlhit variety, I have conducted research on the other dialects of Moroccan Amazigh, namely Tamazight and Tarifit. Comparative work has also allowed me to touch on other dialects, including Kabyle, Toureg, and Ghadamsi. It has also allowed me to work on Semitic languages, Moroccan Arabic essentially, and Akkadian, Standard Arabic and other Semitic languages, sporadically.
Most of my work on morphology deals with Amazigh. I have covered extensive ground in verb morphology as well as nominal morphology. In so doing, I have dealt with as diverse aspects as morphological gemination, haplology, infixation... My interest in phonology was stirred in the first place by the various allomorphies I have encountered in carrying out morphological analysis. I have also worked on language contact, variation and change. My interests exted to applied sociolinguistics as well.
I have been interested in the integration of ICT in teaching for quite some time. However, my interest in the integration of ICT in teaching started formally in 2014, with a training I took at the CMCF- Rabat for a bit more than one semester. My approach to teaching has since then changed drastically, and I have managed to share the results of my experience, especially the Flipped Learning one, at some conferences. Some of the results have been published.
