Fitxa persona

Violeta Martínez-Paricio is Associate Professor at Universitat de València. She holds a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Tromsø-Arctic University of Norway. She was a Research Fellow at the Norwegian center of excellence CASTL (Center for Advanced Study in Theoretical Linguistics) (2009-2013) and, after that, she was hired at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU, Trondheim, 2014). In 2016 she obtained two competitive merit-based postdoctoral contracts (VALi+D and Juan de la Cierva) and joined the Spanish university system. In 2019 she became Profesora Ayudante Doctora at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2019-2021). She has been a visiting researcher, both as a PhD student and as a postdoc researcher, at several leading research centers in Linguistics (University of California Santa Cruz, University of Manchester, Utrecht Institute of Linguistics, Centro de Linguística da Universidade de Lisboa) and has attended two Linguistic Summer Institutes organized by the Linguistic Society of America (at the University of Berkeley California in 2009 and at the University of Boulder Colorado in 2011). She is currently co-PI of a national project ("The interaction between phonology and the phonetic and morphosyntactic components: current challenges for the study of linguistic variatio") funded by the Spanish Government (MICIU and AEI)(PID2023-150846NB-C31). In 2023-2024, she was PI of a research project on metrical phonology funded by Generalitat Valenciana (CIGE/2022/114). She is part of the research group Grup d'Estudi de la Variació Dialectal (GEVAD) at Universitat de Barcelona.

Within linguistics, her research interests lie in the fields of phonology and morphophonology, from a cross-linguistic and a theoretical perspective. In her work, she has addressed issues related to metrical stress theory, rhythm, prosodic phonology, and the interaction between phonology and morphology. She has published articles in high-impact journals (Phonology, Linguistic Inquiry, Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, Linguistics, Verba…), as well as books and book chapters with prestigious publishers (Cambridge University Press, Routledge, Tirant lo Blanch, Síntesis…), and has presented her work at numerous international conferences.

Along with her theoretical line of research, since 2014 she collaborates with a multidisciplinary research group in Norway (NTNU), with whom she has contributed to the development of CALST (Computer-Assisted Listening and Speaking Tutor), a virtual platform for teaching second language pronunciation, and she has implemented parts of the multilingual database L1-L2map.
