Fabienne Martin is an Assistant Professor of French Linguistics at Utrecht University, specializing in semantics and its interfaces as well as language acquisition. She investigates phenomena such as causation, agentivity, aspect and (low) modality across languages, particularly in Romance and Germanic languages. Her work addresses for instance the differences between synthetic vs. analytical causatives, the expression of typical vs. atypical agency, the influence of the external argument on the interpretation of the verbal phrase or the semantics and pragmatics of reflexive construals.
