I received my higher education degree of a foreign language professor and linguist specialized in English and Spanish in 2005 at Omsk State University and in 2011 I defended the doctoral thesis entitled “Elliptical constructions without a verb in their relation to the grammatical system of the language” at Altai State University. Later I got the abovementioned studies accredited to the degree in English Philology and to the degree of PhD in Philology correspondingly at the University of the Basque Country. In 2015 I completed my studies for the degree of Master in Cognitive Neuroscience of Language at the same university. During the studying process I was involved in the investigation focused on the effect of language dominance on simultaneous bilinguals’ grammatical gender processing. Now my aim is to expand my expertise in the area of bilingual’s syntactic and morphosyntactic processing. To see my complete CV, click here.
