ROMANIA, BUCHAREST, IFIASA , UNE SUITE D’ÉPISODES

My discovery of Romania is a long story. It started via the International Association of Linguistic Pschomechanics (Association Internationale de la Psychomécanique, AIPL with which I started getting into some contact and exchange in 1970 in Bordeaux III Michel de Montaigne, thanks to my master Jacques Teyssier who left his work uncompleted in August 1973 while I was crossing the USA in long-distance buses to take a position as Teaching Assistant at the University of California at Davis. Since then, I have been a linguistic migrant, a psychomechanician rebel, considering the phylogeny of language is and will remain what I learned 55 years ago: a long, never-ending process of evolution with no real beginning.

My main research director was André Joly from Lille III Charles de Gaulle. I worked with him from 1976 to 1992. I spent 19 years in Roubaix, Hauts de France. Then, I worked with Michel Perrin from Bordeaux II Victor Segalen up to 1995 when I moved to Olliergues, Puy de Dôme, and after several dozen colloquia, congresses, conferences, and many other sorts of meetings up to that date, I started looking for a higher level of improvement and work.

I taught mostly all sorts of English for Special Purposes (ESP) from engineering and mechanics to the English of philosophy, history, arts, video and films, TV and all stage arts, and of course, computing science discovering Artificial Intelligence and other GenAI software or applications and machines along the way.

I gave several articles to
