Yves Roberge

Canadian linguist

Yves Roberge is professor of linguistics in the French Department at the University of Toronto. He received a BA in French Studies in 1981 and an MA in linguistics in 1983, both from the University of Sherbrooke, and a PhD in Linguistics from the University of British Columbia in 1986. Roberge has been principal of New College since 2010.[1]

Roberge researches the syntax and semantics of French and other Romance languages, especially Canadian French, as well as dialectal variation, first language acquisition, and the syntax-morphology interface.[2] He is well known for his work on implicit (or silent) arguments, which he has studied from both a theoretical perspective and an acquisition perspective, and which is the subject of his book The Syntactic Recoverability of Null Arguments, published in 1990.[3]

In 2015, Roberge received the National Achievement Award presented by the Canadian Linguistic Association.[4]
