Bernard Fradin is a researcher at the Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle (CNRS and University Paris 7 Diderot), Paris, France. His main current research interests centre on morphology and more specifically on the semantics of word-building morphology. Papers by him appeared in the proceedings of various international morphology meetings. He was in charge of the research group (GDR 2220) ‘Description and modelisation in morphology’ (2000–2007), which played a key role in the development of morphology in France in recent years. He published an essay Nouvelles approches en morphologie (Presses Universitaires de France, Paris) in 2003. He is the editor of La raison morphologique (John Benjamins) and co-editor of Aperçu de morphologie du français (Presses Universitaires de Vincennes, to appear), a book which offers new insights on several morphological and morpho-phonological phenomena of French.
