Dr. Johnatan E. Bonilla

As a postdoctoral researcher (wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) in the project A09 – On the interplay between register and dialectal variation in Canarian Spanish morpho-syntax, I focus on advancing my research interests, which broadly encompass the areas of corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, and the intersection of sociolinguistics, dialectology and natural language processing (NLP).

I obtained my PhD in Linguistics from Ghent University (Belgium) and a Master’s in Linguistics from the Instituto Caro y Cuervo (Colombia). I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities with a specialization in Spanish and English from the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (Colombia). Previously, I led research in corpus and computational linguistics at the Instituto Caro y Cuervo, where I oversaw projects that combined dialectology and lexicography with NLP, computational analysis, and collaborative online data collection techniques. I was the lead researcher responsible for integrating technology for the preservation and dissemination of Colombian linguistic heritage, including the digitization of the Linguistic and Ethnographic Atlas of Colombia (ALEC), the development of the New Linguistic Atlas of Colombia (NALAC), and the creation of COSER-UD, the first treebank for spoken Spanish morphosyntactic annotation. This work was conducted as part of the Language and Translation Technology (LT3) team at Ghent University for the Juegos del Español project.
