MILAGROS FERNANDEZ PEREZ

Milagros Fernández Pérez is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela's Faculty of Philology, affiliated with the Department of Spanish Language and Literature, Theory of Literature and General Linguistics. She is a member of the Humanities Research Institute (iHUS) and the KOINÉ research group focused on interdisciplinary communication studies. Her doctoral thesis (1982) explored Chomskian generative-transformational grammar through a philosophy of science lens under Dr. Guillermo Rojo Sánchez's supervision.

Her research interests span biolinguistics, clinical linguistics, child language development, and the intersection of language with cognitive and cultural factors. Key areas include corpus-based studies of child speech (Koiné Corpus), pragmatics in disordered language, and the application of linguistic theory to clinical contexts. She has published extensively on topics such as language acquisition mechanisms, interdisciplinary approaches to communication disorders, and theoretical linguistics' philosophical foundations.

Her work bridges theoretical linguistics with applied domains, addressing language variation, sociolinguistic dynamics, and the methodological underpinnings of linguistic research. Recent publications (2025–2020) emphasize biolinguistics' role in understanding language evolution and the cognitive architecture of linguistic competence.
