Celia Teira Serrano

Celia Teira Serrano serves as a Researcher within the Faculty of Health Sciences at Pontifical University of Salamanca, specializing in General Linguistics with a focus on empirical language processing research.

Her academic credentials include:

• PhD from Autonomous University of Madrid (2010) with thesis titled "Prosody and syntax in sentence processing: a study on the relationships between prosodic and syntactic components in the comprehension and production of structurally ambiguous sentences in Spanish" under supervision of Dr. José Manuel Igoa González.

Her research centers on cognitive mechanisms in language comprehension, specifically examining how prosodic cues interact with syntactic structures during real-time processing of ambiguous Spanish sentences. This work bridges theoretical linguistics and experimental psychology, with implications for speech pathology and computational language modeling. Primary methodologies involve controlled psycholinguistic experiments measuring comprehension accuracy and reaction times in native Spanish speakers.
