Introduction: Martin Verbeke

Hi everyone,

My name is Martin and I'm 29 years old. I'm a native French speaker from Belgium. I'm married and I have two young daughters.  I have a PhD in French linguistics from the University of Stirling, but I currently work as an English teacher in a secondary school in my hometown. I'm interested in many different things, including technology (computers, mobile phones, etc.), YouTube, video games, athletics, fantasy novels, travelling and learning other languages.

If you want to learn French, I wrote a French-learning manual for English speakers: 

https://www.amazon.com/Learn-French-30-Days-Essential/dp/1505646324/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518027391&sr=8-1&keywords=Learn+French+in+30+Days%3A+An+Essential+Survival+Guide&dpID=51EcjTWOhxL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

If you like linguistics and academic journals, you can check out the following publications: 

- 2017: Represent your origins: An analysis of the diatopic determinants of non-standard language use in French rap. International Journal of Francophone Studies. Disponible: https://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=25065/ 

- 2017: “En mode crime lyrical”, or an analysis of non-standard language in a corpus of selected francophone rap tracks. Publication « peer-reviewed » en ligne sur le site du Cercle belge de linguistique (www.bkl-cbl.be). Disponible : http://sites.uclouvain.be/bkl-cbl/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/verbeke2017.pdf

- 2017: “Rapping Through Time: an Analysis of Non-Standard Language Use in French Rap”. Modern and Contemporary France. Disponible : http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09639489.2017.1304903  

- 2016 : “Représente” ta ville : La variation du vocabulaire non standard dans le rap francophone. Publication « peer-reviewed »  en ligne sur le site du Cercle belge de linguistique (www.bkl-cbl.be).
Disponible : http://sites.uclouvain.be/bkl-cbl/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/verbeke2016.pdf 

I don't have much time to write a long and deep introduction, so this will do for now. 

Take care,

Martin![20180207_180755.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbvGVfgzZ8jaqnuraHDkLj9NDitFtSr7JWsxaNu5qfYTG/20180207_180755.jpg)
