Claire Moyse-Faurie (born 7 October 1949) [1] is a French linguist specializing in Oceanic languages, in particular the languages of Wallis and Futuna and of New Caledonia.
Moyse-Faurie studied with the linguist André-Georges Haudricourt. [2] After many years working at LACITO (CNRS) from 1980 onwards, including serving as its deputy director from 1992 to 1995, Moyse-Faurie became emeritus director of research at Lattice in 2021. [3] [4] [5] She held a visiting position as professor at the University of New Caledonia in 2004, 2005, 2013, 2014 and 2015. [4]
Moyse-Faurie was appointed Member of the Academia Europaea in 2016. [6] She also served as President of the Société de Linguistique de Paris in 2012. [4] [7]
Alongside descriptive studies of Oceanic languages (Drehu, Xârâcùù, Xârâgurè, West Uvean, Haméa, East Futunan, East Uvean), Moyse-Faurie has worked on linguistic topics such as valency, nominalization, reflexives, reciprocals, grammaticalization, and linguistic typology. [6] In 1982 she proposed an orthography for this language, which has subsequently been used in teaching; she also published a dictionary of Xârâcùù together with Marie-Adèle Néchérö-Jorédié in 1986.

In grammar, a reflexive verb is, loosely, a verb whose direct object is the same as its subject, for example, "I wash myself". More generally, a reflexive verb has the same semantic agent and patient. For example, the English verb to perjure is reflexive, since one can only perjure oneself. In a wider sense, the term refers to any verb form whose grammatical object is a reflexive pronoun, regardless of semantics; such verbs are also more broadly referred to as pronominal verbs, especially in the grammar of the Romance languages. Other kinds of pronominal verbs are reciprocal, passive, subjective, and idiomatic. The presence of the reflexive pronoun changes the meaning of a verb, e.g., Spanish abonar to pay, abonarse to subscribe.
Niçard, nissart/Niçart, niçois, or nizzardo is the dialect that was historically spoken in the city of Nice, in France, and in a few surrounding communes. Niçard is a subdialect of Provençal, itself a dialect of Occitan. Some Italian irredentists have claimed it as a Ligurian dialect, on false grounds.

Futunan or Futunian is the Polynesian language spoken on Futuna. The term East-Futunan is also used to distinguish it from the related West Futunan (Futuna-Aniwan) spoken on the outlier islands of Futuna and Aniwa in Vanuatu.
