Ana Bravo is a Professor at the University of Murcia, affiliated with the Department of Spanish Language and General Linguistics within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. She holds a Doctorate from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, with her thesis focusing on the periphrasis 'ir a + infinitivo' in Spanish temporal and aspectual systems (2008). Research Interests : Her work centers on the syntax-semantics interface, auxiliary verb structures, tense/aspect systems, and temporal prepositions. Key areas include the classification of auxiliary verbs (lexical vs. functional), modal verbs' syntactic behavior, and the grammaticalization of periphrastic constructions like 'ir a + infinitivo'. She also explores linguistic variation in Romance languages, particularly in American Spanish temporal prepositions like 'hasta' and 'desde'. Publications Trends : Recent work emphasizes auxiliary verb chains' syntactic relations, the reclassification of 'caber' as a modal auxiliary, and the modal reinterpretation of aspectual periphrases (e.g., 'estar a punto de'). Earlier research analyzed Spanish future tense expressions and dialectal variation in clitic clusters. Awards : No specific scientific awards mentioned. Collaborations : Co-authored works with prominent linguists like Luis García Fernández and Diego Gabriel Krivochen. Labs/Teams : Involved in research groups such as 'Language, Cognition and Translation' (mentioned in her profile).
