Boryana Koleva Bratanova serves as an Associate Professor at the Department of English and American Studies within the Faculty of Modern Languages at St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo. Her academic career spans over two decades of research and teaching in linguistics, with a particular focus on the comparative analysis between English and Bulgarian languages. Dr. Bratanova's research interests encompass a wide spectrum of linguistic phenomena, including grammaticalization processes, semantic connotations, phraseology, contrastive linguistics, and language technology applications. Her scholarly work demonstrates a consistent analytical approach to understanding how grammatical structures evolve and how meaning is encoded across linguistic boundaries. She has made significant contributions to the understanding of phrasal verbs in English and their counterparts in Bulgarian, grammatical affixes, and the representation of silence across languages. Her extensive publication record from 2003-2023 reveals a strong trajectory in grammatical theory with emphasis on cross-linguistic comparison. The research shows particular attention to how grammatical structures develop from lexical to grammatical elements (grammaticalization), how semantic meanings shift across languages, and how phraseological units encode cultural concepts. Recent work increasingly incorporates corpus-based methodologies for linguistic analysis and language teaching applications. Dr. Bratanova is actively involved in academic projects, currently participating in the initiative "Integration of students and doctoral students into research initiatives and practices of the Faculty of Philology" running from April to December 2025. This project aims to enhance research collaboration between students, doctoral candidates, and faculty members while promoting international academic exchange. As an educator, she has developed specialized English language materials for PhD students and has contributed significantly to language teaching methodology. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical language teaching applications, particularly in academic contexts.

Her research integrates psycholinguistic and neuroimaging methods to explore how delayed language exposure impacts syntactic processing, brain development, and reading proficiency in deaf individuals. Key areas include neurolinguistic processing differences between early and late first-language learners of ASL, the role of modality in syntactic comprehension, and the relationship between gesture and language development. Mayberry teaches courses such as Sign Language and Its Culture (Lign 7), Child Language Acquisition (Lign 171), and Biology and Environment in Language Acquisition (Lign 282). She has received grants from NIH, the Kavli Foundation, and the National Science Foundation. Her work has been published in high-impact journals like Developmental Science , Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , and Brain and Language . Notable contributions include demonstrating that critical period effects are stronger for first-language acquisition than second-language learning, and revealing how early language deprivation alters neural language pathways in adulthood. Her lab collaborates with institutions like the Salk Institute and UCSD's Neuroscience Program to bridge cognitive science and linguistics.
