Areas of research

My main areas of research are sociolinguistics and comparative linguistics. I have carried out contrastive studies on Spanish compared to other languages, as well as on Spanish as a foreign language. I am currently working on the Spanish spoken in Granada, within the framework of several research projects. I have also conducted studies in other fields. I have devoted one line of research to simultaneous interpreting.
