Regina Weinert is Ikerbasque Senior Research Fellow for the academic year 2009/2010 at the University of the Basque Country in Vitoria-Gasteiz. She has come from the University of Sheffield, where she is Reader in Germanic Linguistics. She holds an MA in Linguistics and a PhD in Second Language Acquisition, both from the University of Edinburgh. Her work spans theoretical and general linguistics as well as language acquisition. She has carried out extensive research into spoken language syntax and discourse-pragmatics, including a recent Leverhulme Trust (UK) project on The Relationship between Syntax, Deixis and Discourse in Spoken German and English. She has been involved in a number of specialist symposia and publications on formulaic language and this strand links to her interest in usage-based models and the nature of linguistic generalisations in language use and acquisition.

Her research on native spoken language is feeding into her Ikerbasque project into the Spoken English of Advanced Foreign Language Learners with L1 Basque/Spanish.
