About Madrid Castillo
I will be assisting Dr. Vallejos in the documentation of how Secoya-Spanish bilinguals communicate motion events and contribute to typologies of spatial expressions. Secoya utilizes several complex predicates, demonstrating a different grammatical profile compared to English and Spanish. With support from ASSURE, I will help in the organization and processing of data to further our understanding of how these grammatical expressions may influence the perception of external input.
