Aurkezpena

Since I was a child, I have been interested in travelling and getting to know new languages. So that, I have studied Basque Studies at UPV/EHU (2016-2020) and thanks to the Ikasiker Fellowship of Research (2019-2020), I had the opportunity to collaborate with the research group The Bilingual Mind directed by Itziar Laka. I continued my academic formation coursing the Master program in Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics (2020-21) where I analyzed the syntactic status of locative adpositions.

In my PhD dissertation (Lekuzko adposizioak: euskararen bidea – Spatial adpositions: the Basque Path 2021-2026), carried out under the supervision of professors Beatriz Fernández and Ane Berro, I analyzed the spatial adpositions of Basque. Thus, I proposed a new categorization of adpositions in Basque, based on the internal composition of the adpositions, semantic characteristics, syntactic derivation and dialectal variability.
