Life

Yves Gambier (PhD in Linguistics) has been a lecturer at the Turun Kieli-Instituutti in Finland since 1973, which has been training translators and interpreters since 1966 and became part of the University of Turku in 1981. From 1982 to 1983 and from 1990 to 1994 he worked there as a representative, from 1994 to 1998 he was employed as a lecturer and since 1998 he has been a university professor. In 1981 Gambier received his doctorate with the thesis Approches théoriques et pratiques de l'interaction langagière , at a time when conversation analysis had not yet found widespread use and pragmatics was still in its infancy. In order to be able to continue teaching at the university, Gambier wrote a second dissertation in 1986 ( Production de sens. Langue et interaction. ), Since due to some reforms in the French doctoral system it was unclear whether the doctoral degree acquired first would continue to be recognized for an academic position would be. Both papers were written while studying discourse analysis and sociolinguistics at the University of Rouen .

From 1982 to 1983 Gambier was also a post-doctoral student at Laval University in Québec; In 1990 the Diplôme d'habilitation à diriger des recherches followed in Rouen .
