Beatriz Gallardo-Paúls (ORCID 0000-0001-6023-3947) is full professor of Linguistics at the University of Valencia since 2009. Her research career has focused mainly on the field of Benvenistian cognitive linguistics, developing proposals and analyses related to pragmatics. Her thesis (1992) proposed a perceptual-based theoretical model for the conversational discourse analysis, published in books such as Lingüística perceptiva y conversación: secuencias (1993) or Análisis conversacional y pragmática del receptor (1996). She has developed her research work focusing on two large applied areas: clinical linguistics and the analysis of public discourse. In the first area, she has studied the pragmatics of speakers with aphasia, ADHD, Williams syndrome or right hemisphere injuries. She was a pioneer in the development of clinical data corpora in Spanish (the PerLA corpus, Perception, Language and Aphasia), as well as in the development of pragmatic assessment tests for speakers with brain damage (for example, the PREP: Rapid Pragmatic Assessment Protocol). Along with multiple chapters and articles in indexed journals, books such as Afasia and conversation (2005), Pragmatics for speech therapists (2007) or Clinical linguistics (2014, with Carlos Hernández) belong to this stage. In the last decade, she has focused her interests on the analysis of political and media discourse, with the development of a model for the analysis of the discursive framework that covers all levels of pragmatics and overcomes the limitations of lexical models. This stage includes the publication of books such as Usos políticos del lenguaje (2014), Pseudopolítica: el discurso político en redes sociales (1996, with Salvador Enguix), Tiempos de hipérbole (2018), La voz más alta. Ruido mediático, opinión pública y Estado de Derecho (2021, with José Luis Espinosa), Signos rotos. Fracturas de lenguaje en la esfera pública (2022) y Contra el lenguaje. La connotación política en la era del sobresalto (2024) y La desinformación (2025).

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, Universitat de 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).

Her research interests cover various aspects of phonology and morphophonology, from a crosslinguistic and theoretical perspective. She has published articles in high impact factor journals (Phonology, Linguistic Inquiry, Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, Linguistics, Verba ...), books and book chapters in prestigious publishing houses (Cambridge University Press, Routledge, Tirant lo Blanch ...) and has presented her work at many 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 a virtual platform for teaching second language pronunciation (Computer-Assisted Listening and Speaking Tutor) and she has implemented parts of the multilingual database L1-L2map.

He has done research stays at the University of Trieste as well as at the University of Virginia, and he has collaborated with teams led by national ((C. Galán’s group (UNEX) or C. García Gallarín’s group (UCM)) and international researchers (O. Felecan’s group (Romania), as well as the team led by S. Fiszman (Spain) and G. Ares (Uruguay)).

R. Morant has directed 9 doctoral theses, 9 courses (2 at USAL, 2 at UIMP, 2 at UV, 3 in Benasque), 2 seminars, and 5 meetings for Fundación SM. Moreover, he has carried out other 7 meetings (6 at the UIMP and 1 at the UV)

R. Morant has participated in more than 40 national and international congresses and meetings (USA, Italy, France, Germany, etc.). In some of them, he has participated as invited speaker (Pau, Palermo, Trieste, Charlottesville, Aarhus, etc.). Besides, he has delivered more than 50 conferences.

R. Morant has also focused on sociolinguistics, bringing his attention to the analysis of genderlects. The books entitled Gramática femenina (co-author, 8 reviews) and Dones i llenguatge. Una mirada masculina (co-author, Ferrer Pastor Research Prize) reflect the interest for this topic.

R. Morant has studied the relationship between language and culture in order to prove the existing linkage between them, as shown in Lengua, vida y cultura en el Valle de Benasque (Villa de Benasque Researh Prize) and Llenguatge i cultura. Per a una ecologia lingüística (co-author).

R. Morant has dedicated to the topic of communication, among other works, Tres finestres obertes al món de la comunicació. El llenguatge del tacte, l'olfacte i el gust (co-author) and the interdisciplinary paper entitled Food labels: Do consumers perceive what semiotics want to convey? (co-author, in Food Quality and Preference (JCR)).

R. Morant has investigated the lexical-semantic level from the methodological (La interacción entre el mundo y la lengua en el ámbito léxico, Tirant Humanidades), neurological ('Experimental analysis of a controlled association of cognitive fields and linguistic fields ' (LEA (SJR)) and linguistic (La metáfora bélica durante la crisis sanitaria de la gripe A (co-author, CLAC (JCR)) point of view.

R. Morant has researched the linguistic landscape, especially texts written on the ground, which have been scarcely studied: La escritura sobre el pavimento callejero: los mensajes de felicitación (RDTP (A&HCI)), Mensajes amorosos en el pavimento (co-author, CLAC (JCR)).

Lately, R. Morant works in the field of onomastics, a discipline in which he has published works such as Denominación, alternancia onomástica y redenominación de animales domésticos (Rilce (JCR)) and La antroponimia en la atención sanitaria (CLAC (JCR)).

The medium- and long-term interests and objectives are to demonstrate the centrality of onomastics as a discipline and the development of lexical-semantic works from the enactionist perspective.
