Anne Gensane

University of Artois

Anne Gensane is a researcher at the University of Artois, specializing in non-standard linguistic practices and representations, with a focus on epilinguistic discourse, lexicology, and identity construction. Drawing on both oral and written corpora, including rap, autobiographical and popular poetry, documentary poetry, argotic and dialectal varieties, youth language, and linguistic heritage, she explores how speakers negotiate social meaning through creative and marginal forms of expression. Her work also engages with the empirical dimensions of research in socioliterature and sociolinguistics, questioning ethnographic description and researcher subjectivity, and examining participatory lexicography and its sociopedagogical applications with youth people.
