Marge Käsper is Lecturer of French Language and Linguistics and Researcher in French Studies at the University of Tartu. In her research, contrastive linguistics meets socio-cultural discourse analysis. She has published a series of papers in Estonian-French contrastive linguistics studies (about deixis, modal verbs, and evidentiality markers); has developed the methodology for a contrastive discourse analysis (studying the academic book review text genre comparatively in Estonian and French socio-cultural and disciplinary contexts); and, working intensively on media discourse, she is open also to the digital humanities field. Her leading interest is to use linguistic material to study the socio-cultural reference and the representations made of the societies in discourse.
