Esther Álvarez García is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Hispanic and Classical Philology at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, University of León, specializing in linguistic theory and empirical research methodologies. Her educational background includes: PhD in Linguistics , University of León (2018). Dissertation: "Influencia léxico-semántica en el procesamiento sintáctico: un estudio con oraciones de relativo en español". Supervised by Dr. Salvador Gutiérrez Ordóñez and Dr. José Manuel Igoa González. Her research centers on Syntax, Semantics, and Psycholinguistics with Spanish language specialization, utilizing eye-tracking to analyze syntactic processing in relative clauses. She extends this to historical linguistics (e.g., 17th-century Spanish wine lexicon) and pan-Hispanic linguistic frameworks, emphasizing empirical validation of theoretical models. Publication analysis (2014-2023) reveals consistent focus on Spanish relative clause processing through eye-tracking, alongside expanding investigations into language evolution and historical lexical change. Her work bridges theoretical syntax with experimental psycholinguistics and diachronic analysis, demonstrating methodological rigor across subfields. No scientific awards were listed in the provided information. There is no available information regarding student supervision or research grant acquisition. She actively contributes to the SINCOM SINTAXIS COMUNICATIVA research group at the University of León, which investigates syntactic structures and their communicative interfaces through empirical and theoretical approaches.

Jill Jegerski is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Spanish and Portuguese and Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research focuses on second language acquisition, bilingualism, and psycholinguistic methods, with a specialization in Spanish as a heritage language and heritage speaker processing. Jegerski holds a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago, alongside an M.A. and B.S. from the same institution and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, respectively. Her work employs experimental techniques like self-paced reading, eye-tracking, and ERPs to investigate real-time language processing. Key themes include verb morphology, syntactic case marking, and relative clause attachment in heritage and L2 Spanish speakers. Jegerski has collaborated on studies exploring the psycholinguistics of heritage languages, including contributions to the Cambridge Handbook of Heritage Languages and Linguistics (2022). Her publications analyze how heritage speakers process morphosyntactic features like differential object marking and subjunctive mood, often contrasting their performance with monolingual and advanced L2 learners. Jegerski’s research highlights the cognitive mechanisms underlying bilingual language representation and the impact of language attrition or incomplete acquisition in heritage contexts. Jegerski frequently presents invited talks on heritage language processing, case marking, and experimental methods in psycholinguistics. Her work bridges theoretical SLA frameworks (e.g., Krashen’s input hypothesis) with empirical evidence from real-time processing experiments, offering insights into both linguistic competence and communicative proficiency.
