Martina Martinović serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at McGill University, where her research program centers on theoretical syntax and morphology through empirical fieldwork on Wolof (West-Atlantic, Senegal) since 2011 and Igala (Volta-Niger, Nigeria) since 2021. She investigates cross-linguistic variation to uncover universal principles of grammatical structure, specifically how syntactic operations interface with morphological and phonological modules. Education: Ph.D. in Linguistics, University of Chicago (2015) Her primary research examines the building of syntactic structures and the role of morphology in their final shape, challenging purely syntactic analyses for phenomena that may be morphological. Key investigations include A'-movement effects, cartographic/non-cartographic operations, copular sentences, information structure syntax, and tense-aspect semantics. Her secondary focus explores phonetics/phonology, particularly word-accentual systems across languages. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2016-2024) reveals dominant Wolof-focused research on copular constructions, control phenomena, and movement operations, with increasing incorporation of Igala and Ch’ol data. This work consistently demonstrates how morphological operations constrain syntactic possibilities, advancing understanding of grammar modularity in understudied language families.

Dr. Tanja Collet-Najem serves as Associate Professor and Department Head in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Windsor's Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, where she has held academic positions since 2001 after joining from her postdoctoral work at the Université d’Ottawa. Her academic credentials include a BA in Translation Studies from the University of Antwerp's Institut supérieur de traducteurs et interprètes (ISTI/HIVT), an MA and PhD in Linguistics from the Université de Montréal, and a postdoctoral fellowship in French Applied Linguistics. Dr. Collet-Najem's research program centers on discourse analysis and text linguistics, with specialized focus on academic and political discourse, lexical semantics, and translation studies. Her work examines citation practices in scholarly writing and analyzes language attitudes within Flemish and Dutch-speaking immigrant communities in southwestern Ontario through historical documents like diaries, letters, and newspapers such as the Gazette van Detroit. She publishes in leading journals including Discourse & Society , Meta , and the Canadian Journal of Netherlandic Studies . Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals dual research trajectories: historical discourse analysis of World War I-era Flemish immigrant materials in North America, and semantic-terminological investigations of citation mechanisms in academic writing. These works consistently bridge linguistic theory with cultural history and sociopolitical contexts. Her scholarly contributions have earned recognition through the Vinay & Darbelnet Prize (2012) from the Canadian Association for Translation Studies and the SAHSS Outstanding Professor of Humanities Award (2023). Vinay & Darbelnet Prize (2012) SAHSS Outstanding Professor of Humanities Award (2023) Research funding has been secured from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Taalunie (Dutch Language Union), and the University of Windsor's Centre for Teaching and Learning. Dr. Collet-Najem serves as editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Netherlandic Studies and previously contributed to the editorial board of Meta: Journal des traducteurs . Her teaching excellence was recognized through a 2003 nomination for the University of Windsor Student’s Alliance Teacher of the Year Award.
