| Trinidad Guzmán-González
 Trinidad Guzmán-González is Associate Professor at the Department of Modern Philology, Faculty of Arts, University of León, Spain, where she teaches General English, History of the English Language and Varieties of English. She got her M.E. Degree in Anglo-Germanic Philology in the University of Oviedo (Spain) and her Ph.D. in English Philology in the University of León (Spain), with a thesis on the grammatical category of gender. She's also attended courses at Herriot Watt University (Edinburgh) and the University of Edinburgh and has been visiting scholar at the latter institution and at the University of Leiden (The Netherlands), Barnard College (University of Columbia, New York, U.S.A.) and the University of Vienna (Austria). Her main research interest is English historical linguistics: she has worked on the grammatical category of gender, on phonology (the Great Vowel Shift) and on language contact (Spanish-English, lexical exchanges). The variationist analysis, including sociolinguistics (social network analysis) approach, on the one hand, and the theory of games and the new developments of the theories of evolution on the other, inform her most recent research on linguistic change, where she is particularly interested on the role of writing in language change. It was on the basis of such expertise that she joined the team in 2001.
She has also participated in a number of research projects on linguistic variation in the University of Salamanca (SPAIN), and is a member of the advisory team of researchers there (http://salamancacorpus.usal.es), as well as for the research group on historical sociolinguistics and history of English in the University of Murcia (https://curie.um.es/curie/catalogo-ficha.du?seof_codigo=1&perf_codigo=10&cods=E020*11).
She has been co-editor of SELIM Journal of the Spanish Society for Medieval English Language and Literature (http://www.unioviedo.es/SELIM), from October 2004.
