Iván Tamaredo Meira

Iván Tamaredo Meira is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English Studies: Linguistics and Literature at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). He holds a BA and MA from the University of Santiago de Compostela and a PhD from the same institution, defended in 2018. Prior to UCM, he held positions at the University of Vigo (2019–2020), University of Salamanca (2020–2021), and was a postdoctoral researcher at Santiago de Compostela (2018–2019).

His research focuses on quantitative studies of morpho-syntactic variation in World Englishes (e.g., British English, Indian English, Singapore English), linguistic complexity, and communicative efficiency. Key themes include internal/external factors influencing syntactic alternations and how complexity-efficiency dynamics shape language production in contact varieties.

His publications (2015–2021) explore pronoun omission, relative clause structures, legal discourse evolution, and corpus-based methodologies. Notable works include monographs on complexity-efficiency trade-offs and edited volumes on applied linguistic research. His work often integrates corpus linguistics with variationist sociolinguistics.
