After my doctoral thesis in Spanish with a focus on linguistics (El Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto del español de Chile, Paraguay y Uruguay) at Stockholm University in 2010, I have analyzed the use of the Perfect tense in epistolary correspondence in Uruguay from the 18th and 19th centuries, investigated the contemporary use of the Perfect tense in Spanish from Spain and Mexico, and developed a didactic approach on how the Perfect tense can be addressed in teaching. Additionally, I have collaborated with colleagues from France, Sweden, and the United States to study how L2 learners of Spanish perceive modal variation (indicative/subjunctive). Currently, I am engaged in research on aspects of the grammar and evolution of spoken Spanish, including the nature of the large number of Anglicisms in the Spanish-speaking world.

Teaching span: courses in grammar and linguistics from the undergraduate to the master's level, and bachelor's and master's theses with a linguistic focus.
