Career
Kissine was born in Leningrad in 1980. He initially wanted to study mathematics or theoretical physics , but in 2001 decided to study linguistics at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) . After his graduation in 2003 he received a scholarship from the Philippe Wiener - Maurice Anspach Foundation for the master's degree in Philosophy of Linguistics at the University of Cambridge . After completing his studies in Cambridge, he returned to the ULB to write a doctoral thesis at the Research Center for Languages (LaDisco). His work, completed in 2007, was devoted to speech act theory - the cognitive and contextual factors that lead to the same sentence being sometimes interpreted as order, as a threat or as a confirmation.
Mikhail Kissine continued his studies with a postdoc scholarship as a Research Fellow at the FNRS and received a position as First Assistant at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in October 2012 . His two main current projects are the BiBi project, which examines the effects of bilingualism and bi-dialectalism on cognitive and linguistic development, and the ACTE group, which aims to examine what hinders language development in autism.
