Adam Ledgeway is a Professor of Italian and Romance Linguistics at the University of Bergamo (since 2024), following a 21-year career at the University of Cambridge (2001–2023), where he held roles from University Assistant Lecturer to Professor. His research spans comparative Romance linguistics, dialectology, morphosyntactic theory, historical linguistics, and language contact, with a focus on southern Italian dialects and Greek-Romance interactions. Education: PhD (1996), MA with distinction (1993), and BA First Class (1992) from the University of Manchester. Research Interests: Ledgeway’s work bridges diachronic and synchronic analysis, examining phenomena like verb movement, complementation systems, differential object marking, and phonology-syntax interfaces. He has extensively studied Greek-Romance contact in southern Italy and parametric microvariation across dialects. Article Trends: His recent publications (2018–2024) emphasize diachronic morphosyntax, Romance microvariation, and cross-linguistic contact effects, particularly in Greek-speaking enclaves. Topics include Jespersen’s Cycle, periphrasis, and configurationality shifts from Latin to Romance. Scientific Awards: Fellow of the British Academy (2017) Honorary Doctorate, University of Bucharest (2016) Co-editor of major OUP and Wiley-Blackwell series Advising and Grants: Supervised 24 PhD students since 1999.

Cecilia Poletto is a Professor of Linguistics at Goethe University Frankfurt (since 2011) and holds a part-time professorship at the University of Padua (since 2016). Her research focuses on Germanic and Romance syntax, microvariation, and historical morphosyntax. She has held a permanent research position at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) in Padua from 1995 to 2005 and served as an Associate Professor at the University of Venice (2005–2011). Her work bridges formal syntax with diachronic and dialectological perspectives, particularly examining quantifier placement, complementizer phrase structure, and null subject phenomena in Old Italian. She has contributed influential studies on remnant movement, smuggling operations in interrogatives, and multilingual competence effects in Italian-German bilinguals. Awarded Fellow of the CNR since 2017, she also served on Italy’s national professor evaluation committee (2016–2018). Her research has been published in top journals like Glossa and Frontiers in Psychology , alongside monographs on Old Italian word order and Northern Italian dialect syntax.
