Randolph Quirk Fellow 2025
This year, are honoured to be welcoming Prof. Martina Wiltschko (ICREA/Universitat Pompeu Fabra) to Queen Mary University of London.
Martina Wiltschko is an ICREA research Professor at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Catalonia. She is a theoretical linguist, specializing in syntax and its interfaces. Working broadly within the generative tradition, she aims to bridge the gap to other traditions, including functionalist, cognitivist, and interactionalist approaches towards language. The big questions she pursues include the following: What is the relation between sound, meaning, and category? What is the relation between language, thought, and communication? What drives human interaction? And how does knowledge of language fit into cognition?
