About

I started studying bilingual writers and multilingual texts in the late 1980s, long before they became fashionable research topics. Paying particular attention to these phenomena in the two countries I know best, Belgium and Canada, I also investigated past and present multilingual writing in Spain and Italy, as well as in “metropolitan” France. The book that grew out of my PhD on multilingualism in Quebec (Des langues qui résonnent, Montréal, 1997), was awarded the Gabrielle-Roy prize for Canadian literary criticism. It was updated for a 20th-anniversary edition with Paris publisher, Classiques Garnier. Widely reviewed and quoted, its terminology has become a staple of postcolonial studies in France, Italy, and French-speaking Africa. I was gradually able to combine literary scholarschip with an ongoing interest in translation studies (developed during my studies at the KU Leuven under Prof. José Lambert). Self-translation, i.e., the practice of bilingual writers who translate their own work, has become a focal point in this respect.

Metrics description
h-index
A scientist has an h-index if h of his N publications are cited at least h times each, while the remaining (N - h) publications are cited no more than h times each.
i10-index
The number of the author's publications that received at least 10 links each.
m-index
The researcher's m-index is numerically equal to the ratio of his h-index to the number of years that have passed since the first publication.
o-index
The geometric mean of the h-index and the number of citations of the most cited article of the scientist.
g-index
For a given set of articles, sorted in descending order of the number of citations that these articles received, the g-index is the largest number such that the g most cited articles received (in total) at least g2 citations.
w-index
If w articles of a researcher have at least 10w citations each and other publications are less than 10(w+1) citations, then the researcher's w-index is equal to w.
