Full Professor at the Department of Linguistics and Basque Studies and director of The Bilingual Mind<\/em> research group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV\/EHU). Obtained her PhD in 1990 (MIT) with a dissertation entitled Negation in Syntax: On the Nature of Functional Categories and Projections<\/em>, (published in 1994 by Garland). Assistant Professor in Linguistics at the University of Rochester (New York) during 1990-1995. \u00a0She has been invited professor at the Universities of Vienna, Utrecht, Naples and R\u00edo de Janeiro, and invited research fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in Humanities (NIAS), and the Instituto Universitario Ortega y Gasset (Madrid) among others. Member of Jakiunde<\/em>, the Basque Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, and corresponding member of Euskaltzaindia<\/em>, the Academy for the Basque Language. Author of A Brief Grammar of Euskara, the Basque Language <\/em>(1996), freely available on the internet. Her current research combines theoretical linguistics and experimental methods from psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics to inquire into the neural representation and processing of language, with a strong focus on syntax and bilingualism.<\/p>\n
