Ane Odria

Researcher

Presentation

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Language and Literature Didactics at the University of the Basque Country (EHU). I obtained my PhD in Linguistics from the University of the Basque Country (EHU) in 2017.

My research has primarily focused on Basque syntax and morphosyntactic variation, with a particular focus on case and agreement phenomena and argument structure. More recently, my research has expanded to examine the role of cross-linguistic influence and typological distance in the acquisition of Basque as a second language.

Since 2010, I have been a member of the Bilingual Mind research group, a Research Group of Excellence (Group A) within the Basque University System (Principal Investigators Itziar Laka and Mikel Santesteban).
