Biography

Dr. Nicole Rosen is an Associate Professor and Tier II Canada Research Chair in Language Interactions in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Manitoba.

Rosen's research interests centre primarily around effects of language contact and interaction, especially the language situation on the Canadian Prairies. Her doctoral thesis was a study of Michif, a Cree-French mixed language spoken primarily in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In 2007 Nicole began work with Michif speakers to develop an online audio Michif-English dictionary, funded by a SSHRC Aboriginal Research Grant. Since then she has expanded her research to include the study of Prairies French and English.
