He is a professor of Spanish Philology at the Complutense University of Madrid; a position he has held since 1982.[1] He has been a visiting professor at the University of Utrecht, The Ohio State University, the University of Leuven, Sophia University and the University of Minnesota.[2]

Career

He attended the Autonomous University of Madrid, where he was a student of Fernando Lázaro Carreter. He also studied semantics and pragmatics at Berkeley from 1974-1975.[2] He is an expert on the Spanish language, from the standpoints of both traditional and generative grammar, and has given special attention to the relationship between vocabulary and syntax.

In 1999, together with Violeta Demonte, he published the Gramática Descriptiva de la Lengua Española, in three volumes. It is the most detailed work on the syntax and morphology of the Spanish language published to date.[3] He was also the coordinator for the Nueva Gramática de la Lengua Española, published in 2009; the first such academic grammar since 1931.
