He received his doctorate from Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec (1987), challenging Bickerton&#8217;s Bioprogram Hypothesis as applied to French Creoles. As a sociolinguist and creolist, his research interests have focused on the genetic and typological filiation of French Creoles to17th century popular French, opposing the substratist position that West African languages might have played a central role in the formation of creole languages. After&nbsp;30 years devoted to this question, he came to the conclusion that even creoles are a source of mere mystification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"research-interests\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Research Interests <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sociolinguistics and History of French<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>French Creolistics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Ecology of French;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>French Languages in the Americas;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Linguistic and Anthropology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"recent-publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recent Publications:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fournier, R. &amp; coll. 2011.
