I work as  Full Profesor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of the Basque Country. I hold a B.A. in Germanic Philology from the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Iowa (thesis: On certain null operator constructions in English and Spanish).  Most of my published work since 2000 has been on the L2/L3  acquisition of English morphosyntax (generative perspective) and the study of conversational interaction and L2 learning (interactionist approach). I am also interested in bilingual/multilingual education and the age factor.

I am currently the director of the research group Language and Speech, noted  by the Basque Goverment (IT311-10) for excellence in research in the field. My work is also carried out within the research project Consolider-Ingenio 2010, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education. I belong to the Editorial Board of  the EUROSLA Yearbook , the journal Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism and the Continuum series on Instructed Second Language Research.

I am the director of the MA program Language Acquisition in Multilingual Settings (http://www.lams.ehu.es) with access to doctoral studies (Ph.D.). The doctorate program has been accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Education (Mención hacia la Excelencia 20111-2014).

I am also the International Relations representative of the Spanish Association of Applied Linguistics (AESLA) and a member of the AILA (International Association of Applied Lingusitics) Executive Board - International Committee (EBIC).

Research Interests:

Generative second/third language acquisition

Syntax

Morphology
