Ramón Mariño Paz

Ramón Mariño Paz is a Professor in the Department of Galician and Portuguese Philology at the University of Santiago de Compostela, serving as an affiliated researcher with contact via ramon.marino.paz@usc.gal and +34 8818 12820. He co-directed Verba (Galician Yearbook of Philology) from 2011 to 2020.

His research centers on the social history, phonetics, phonology, and historical morphology of the Galician language, alongside critical editing of post-medieval texts. Key publications include foundational books such as Historia da lingua galega (1998), Historia de la lengua gallega (2008), and Fonética e fonoloġija históricas da lingua galega (2017), plus edited volumes like Papés d'emprenta condenada series (2008, 2012) and Historical linguistics and editing of medieval Galician texts (2015).

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal sustained focus on Galician historical linguistics, with works analyzing medieval bishop chronicles, phonetic systems, and semantic evolution of terms like 'poblo'. These consistently integrate textual criticism with linguistic analysis across phonological, morphological, and sociolinguistic dimensions.

He leads the Historical Grammar of the Galician Language (GHLG) project as Principal Investigator and contributes to the Corpus of Ancient Texts of Galicia (COTAGAL), developing critical resources for Galician language historiography through systematic textual analysis and corpus linguistics.
