Biography
Before returning to ANU, where he obtained his PhD in Linguistics in 1989, A/Prof Bert Peeters held appointments at the University of Tasmania (1989-2006) and at Macquarie University, Sydney (2007-2013). While his research focuses on the broad area of language and cultural values, with special reference to French and to Australian English, he sometimes strays off the path with papers on other topics as well, usually related to French and/or to French linguistics.
