Studies:
I graduated in Basque Studies at UPV/EHU (2018-2022) and I completed a masters in Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics at the same university (2022-2023). I have always loved languages and since I began learning how to do simple sintactic analysis at school, I am really interested in the structure of human language. One of my biggest academic interests is linguistic variation, specially from a morpho-syntactic and typological perspective. In the academic year 2021-2022, thanks to the Ikasiker Research Fellowship [IkasC_2021_1_0042], I collaborated with the research group The Bilingual Mind directed by Itziar Laka; in particular, I have been analyzing detransitivized reflexive and reciprocal structures.
I am currently (2023- ) working on my PhD dissertation within the Doctoral Programme in Linguistics (UPV/EHU) and I am a pre-doctoral researcher at the Department of Linguistics and Basque Studies (UPV/EHU). Besides, I am a member of the research group The Bilingual Mind. Following my previous work, in my PhD thesis I am investigating detransitivized reflexive and reciprocal constructions in Basque under the supervision of Beatriz Fernández (UPV/EHU), Ane Berro (University of Deusto) and Irene de la Cruz-Pavía (University of Deusto). Funding for this research comes from the FPU research aid for pre-doctoral researchers [FPU22/01851], provided by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
