- Documentation and study of Spanish rural dialects (COSER corpus; Corpus Oral y Sonoro del Español Rural; corpusrural.es) and urban varieties using interdisciplinary corpus-building techniques: e.g., collaborative game-based approach for the annotation and parsing of a non-standard Spanish corpus in which Dialectology, Natural Language Processing and Human-Computer Interaction are brought together www.juegosdelespanol.com or the use of web-apps for data gathering www.dialectosdelespanol.org or Dialectos del español app in Google Play;
- Exploration of the historical development of pronouns, future tense, and phenomena at the left periphery (also within the formal framework of Dynamic Syntax)
- Study of language and dialect contact in Old Romance languages (Occitan, Navarro-Aragonese, Catalan, Castilian, etc.).
