I have always been fascinated
with the wonderful problems that the study of languages poses, and
the possibility to use language as a window to the human cognition.
Although my main areas of research are Syntax and Language Acquisition,
I have a strong interest in a number of related areas, including
Morphology, Phonetics, Philosophy of Language, Cognitive Science,
and the Evolution of Language.
I'm deeply committed to the
study of Spanish, my native language, especially to the varieties
less represented in the literature (South American varieties, and
Spanish in contact with other languages). I'm also interested in
the study of non-Spanish languages of Latin America, in particular
Aymara. |
