He is the author of From Utterances to Speech Acts (CUP, 2013), and the co-author, with Mark Jary, of Imperatives (CUP, in press).

She holds a PhD in English Linguistics from the same university (2012) as well as the agrégation in English. She has worked extensively on the English verb and on verbal anaphora, and has recently been focusing on colour terms.
