Fitxa persona

I am a Professor of Spanish Language in the Department of Spanish Philology at the University of Valencia. I earned my PhD in Hispanic Philology in 1996 and was awarded the Extraordinary Doctorate Prize in 1997. My research activities have primarily focused on the study of colloquial language use, and I am a founding member of the Val.Es.Co. research group (Valencia, Colloquial Spanish). I have dedicated a significant portion of my work to the analysis of intonation functions in spoken language. In this area, I have published notable works such as 'La Entonación coloquial. Función Demarcativa y Unidades de Habla' (1997, Universitat de València), 'Comentario Fónico de Textos coloquiales' (2002, Arco-Libros), 'Aspectos de la entonación española: viejos y nuevos enfoques' (2006, Arco Libros), 'El estudio de la prosodia en España en el S. XXI: perspectivas y ámbitos' (ed.) (2011, Universitat de València), 'La enseñanza de la entonación en el aula de E/LE' (2012, Arco Libros) in collaboration with Adrián Cabedo, 'La voz del lenguaje: fonética y fonología del español' (2012, Tirant Humanidades) in collaboration with Mercedes Quilis, or 'Sistema y uso de la entonación en español hablado: aproximación interactivo-funcional' (University Alberto Hurtado, 2019).

I have also published numerous scientific articles related to my research areas in prestigious national and international journals such as Oralia, Verba, Moenia, Journal of Politeness Research, Faits de Langues, Lingüística Española Actual, Español Actual, Boletín de Filología de la Universidad de Chile, Revista de Lingüística Teórica y Aplicada, Revista de Llengua i Dret, Estudios Filológicos, Quaderns de Filologia: Estudis Lingüístics, Anuari de Filologia: Estudis Lingüístics, Pragmática sociocultural, Cauce, etc.
