Teresa Fanego is a Spanish linguist specializing in the history of English. [1]
Fanego initially studied Germanic philology at the University of Santiago de Compostela, receiving her PhD in English linguistics from the same institution in 1978 after a year spent studying at University College London on a British Council scholarship (1975–76). [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]
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]
