I have a PhD degree in Linguistics from the Universidad de Alcalá. ¶ The title of my dissertation is “Las estructuras de predicación y la alternancia de cópula” (Predication Structure and Copula Selection) under the supervision of Dr. Silvia Gumiel-Molina, Universidad de Alcalá. ¶ I have published several papers about intensional verbs, the quantificational structure of the clause and how it is modified by accommodational and presuppositional processes, and their impact on the syntactic structure of sentences. ¶ Together with Isabel Pérez-Jiménez, I have published works on the relation between lexical aspect and the functional skeleton of the clause, and we have also worked on ellipsis and the coordination/subordination divide. ¶ In recent years, the focus of my work has been on gradability, scalarity and the consequences they have for copula selection in Spanish, as well as affective polarity and the licensing contexts of cualquiera and siquiera. ¶ Together with Isabel Pérez-Jiménez and Silvia Gumiel-Molina, we have shown in several papers that the distinction between absolute adjectives and relative adjectives has an enormous impact in the grammar of Spanish in the following domains: secondary predication, copula selection, intensification, adverbial modification and the difference between stage-level predicates and individual-level predicates. ¶ From a theoretical point of view, our proposal has been that notions related to scalarity and gradability are primitive with respect to aspect-related notions in the aforementioned domains of grammar. ¶ I am currently working as an Assistant Professor (Profesor Ayudante Doctor) at the Department of Philology, Communication and Documentation of the Universidad de Alcalá (Madrid), where I teach several disciplines related to Linguistics and Spanish Grammar, and serve as Vicedean of Research and Student Affairs at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. ¶ I was also a member of the team that prepared the second edition of the Nueva Gramática de la Lengua Española from the Real Academia Española (RAE) and Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española (ASALE), published in April 2025.
