Maria Maddalena Colasuonno is a Researcher at the University of Naples 'L'Orientale', affiliated with the School of Asia, Africa and Mediterranean Studies. Her work focuses on sociolinguistics, Semitic languages, and Hebrew linguistics with particular emphasis on Judeo-Italian dialects and Biblical Hebrew syntax. She contributes to Prof. Nili Samet's research project on Late Biblical Hebrew Syntax, analyzing syntactic features through comparative and diachronic approaches. Research interests: Sociolinguistics, Arabic and Hebrew linguistics, comparative Semitic studies, Judeo-Italian dialectology. Key projects: Co-authoring entries for the Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics, studying diglossia in Biblical Hebrew, and investigating Modern Hebrew's sociolinguistic terminology. Her publications challenge traditional assumptions about linguistic variation (e.g., diglossia in Biblical Hebrew) and explore morpho-syntactic innovations in Modern Hebrew's technolect. She has also examined the sociolinguistic legacy of Aron TERRACINI through Judeo-Italian studies. Current collaborations include the Late Biblical Hebrew Syntax project at Tel Aviv University, aiming to catalog syntactic features with biblical and extrabiblical examples.
Esther Brown is a Professor and Department Chair of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Colorado. She specializes in usage-based phonology, language variation, and the linguistic study of New Mexican Spanish. Her research focuses on the interplay between linguistic usage patterns and phonological/morphosyntactic variation across Ibero-Romance languages. Her work examines phenomena such as inflected infinitives in Galician, pronoun variation in Spanish dialects, and cross-linguistic influence in bilingual speech. She employs corpus-based and experimental methodologies, frequently collaborating with researchers like Javier Rivas and William D. Raymond. Recent studies investigate how contextual frequency shapes lexical representations, with notable contributions to understanding phonetic reduction mechanisms and morphosyntactic variation in non-finite clauses. Her research bridges theoretical linguistics with empirical sociolinguistic analysis, particularly in understudied dialects like New Mexican and Puerto Rican Spanish. Laboratory work involves analyzing speech production patterns using acoustic phonetics and computational methods. Ongoing projects explore developmental aspects of morphosyntactic variation in child Spanish speakers and the role of exemplar-based models in capturing language change processes.
