Scimitar
Since 2002 I have been working in the research group SCIMITAR, and I am currently the group's Research Manager. We focus on the grammar-discourse interface from the viewpoint of functional-typological linguistics, but also consider information processing and the acquisition of languages. SCIMITAR has been coordinated since its inception by María de los Ángeles Gómez-González of the Department of English of the University of Santiago de Compostela and brings together experts (and their respective research institutes) from four other universities: VU University Amsterdam (Netherlands), University of Swansea (United Kingdom), Simon Fraser University (Canada) and the University of Almerķa (Spain). SCIMITAR has received funding for its research projects from various authorities and organizations, notably the European Regional Development Fund, the Spanish Ministry for Education and Science and the Xunta de Galicia (the Autonomous Government of Galicia).
