This project was conducted between 2005 and 2006. One of the first batch of Contractual Research Project launched by The Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, Rabat, "The Verb Morphology of Amazigh: A Comparative Study of Five Dialects" is a study of the dialects of Agadir, Ait Baamarane, Amezmiz, Ida Outanane and Tata. It is essentially based on field-work consisting of collecting data on the verbal system of Tashlhit and analyzing it from a comparative perspective. Other similar projects were conducted on other varieties of Moroccan Amazigh in view of standardizing the verb morphology of the language.
This project is a translation into English of a work on the revitalization of Amazigh (Boukous, A. (2012) Revitalisation de la langue amazighe : défis, enjeux et stratégies). The project was conducted in the period between mid 2010 and mid 2011. The translated book was published by IRCAM.
Entitled "On the nature and role of the root in Berber (Amazigh): Investigations into the mental representation of words", this research project was conducted between 2014/2016 within the Partenariat Hubert Curien TOUBKAL (Formerly Volubilis)- Volubilis MA/14/311-Campus France N° 30285ZM.
