[1] [2] [3] She has spent her whole career at the University of Santiago de Compostela, first as lecturer, then as associate professor (from 1984) and finally as full professor (from 1990). [1]

Between 2005 and 2013, Fanego served as editor-in-chief of the Societas Linguistica Europaea's journal Folia Linguistica. [2] In 2017 she was elected member of the Academia Europaea. [1] In 2018 she was the recipient of a double festschrift containing contributions by David Denison and Raymond Hickey among many others. [4]

Research

Fanego's research has focused on the history of English, with a special focus on syntax, Early Modern English, and the language of Shakespeare. [1] She was an early adopter of corpus-linguistic methods in historical linguistics, with research interests in corpus design, compilation and types as well as corpus-based studies of grammatical variation. [2] Her work on the development of the English gerund is widely cited. [5] She has further research interests in the morphosyntax of contemporary English, grammaticalization, discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, and construction grammar. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gyalrongic languages</span> Branch of the Qiangic languages of Sino-Tibetan

The Gyalrongic languages constitute a branch of the Qiangic languages of Sino-Tibetan, but some propose that it may be part of a larger Rung languages group and do not consider it to be particularly closely related to Qiangic but suggest that similarities between Gyalrongic and Qiangic may be from areal influence. However, other work suggests that Qiangic as a whole may in fact be paraphyletic, with the only commonalities of the supposed "branch" being shared archaisms and areal features that were encouraged by language contact. Jacques & Michaud (2011) propose that Qiangic including Gyalrongic may belong to a larger Burmo-Qiangic group based on some lexical innovations.
