Adrian Cabedo Nebot

Adrián Cabedo Nebot is a Professor in the Department of Spanish Philology at the Universitat de València, affiliated with the Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication. He is a core member of the Val.Es.Co research group, focusing on Colloquial Spanish and prosodic analysis.

Research Interests: His work centers on speech prosody, acoustic phonetics, discourse analysis, and the pragmatics of colloquial Spanish. He investigates how intonation shapes discourse units, speaker subjectivity, linguistic politeness, and direct speech. His research also extends to clinical linguistics, particularly prosodic patterns in Wernicke’s aphasia, and applied areas such as teaching Spanish as a foreign language (E/LE), academic writing, and plagiarism detection.

Publication Trends: His recent work emphasizes quantitative and qualitative analysis of prosodic features using tools like PRAAT, corpus-based studies (CORLEC, Val.Es.Co), and the development of segmentation models. He frequently explores the intersection of phonetics, pragmatics, and discourse structure in spoken Spanish.

Collaborations: He has co-authored works with Antonio Hidalgo-Navarro and Bert Cornillie, among others, reflecting interdisciplinary and international research partnerships.

Scientific Contributions:

• Developed and applied the Val.Es.Co model for oral discourse segmentation.
• Advanced understanding of prosodic cues in modal adverbs and intersubjectivity.
• Contributed to methodology in linguistic politeness and plagiarism detection.

Advising and Grants: While specific students and grants are not mentioned in the provided texts, his supervisory role is indicated by his PhD supervision of others and collaborative research leadership. His work implies involvement in funded research projects related to language, prosody, and corpus development.

Labs and Teams: He is an active member of the Val.Es.Co research group, which develops and applies tools for analyzing colloquial Spanish, including the Corpus Val.Es.Co 2.0. This team focuses on integrating prosodic, semantic, and pragmatic features in discourse analysis.
