Brief CV
Linguist specializing in Language Evolution and the biological structures that underpin language. An updated list of publications can be found in researchgate
- Bachelor in Catalan Philology (Universitat de les Illes Balears, [on year at the Universität Paderborn, Germany])
- Bachelor in General Linguitsics (Universitat de Barcelona [one year at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands])
- Master in Cognitive Science and Language (Universitat de Barcelona)
- Master in Human Cognition and Evolution (Universitat de les Illes Balears)
- PhD. in Human Cognition and Evolution (Universitat de les Illes Balears)
His research focuses on language evolution during phylogeny, especially in the subtribe Hominina and particularly in H. neanderthalensis, and in ontogeny, from birth to adulthood.
- The approach to language ontogeny combines syntactic analyses with Network Science (graph theory and complex networks). This research encompasses both typical and atypical language acquisition (e.g., Down syndrome, Williams syndrome, Specific Language Impairment, etc).
Dr. Barceló-Coblijn is also studying the sign languages of the Balearic and Pityusic islands, mainly from two viewpoints:
- Sociolinguistics
- Acquisition
Research stages at other institutions:
- Predoctoral: at the Max Plack Institute for Evolutinary Anthropology (Leipzig, Alemanya),
- Centre de Lingüística Teòrica (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).
- Postdoctoral: Universidad de Murcia (dept. of Philosophy).
Currently, Dr. Barceló-Coblijn is the director of the Laboratori d'Investigació en Complexitat i de Lingüística Experimental at the Universitat de les Illes Balears.
