Hi, I'm Martín Fuchs,  a linguist specializing in how meaning in language changes over time and across dialects. I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Freie Universität Berlin, working on the ERC-funded project "Experimental Replication of Historical Reanalysis Processes" (EXREAN), which explores how diachronic shifts in language can be experimentally replicated. 

My research blends experimental methods and corpus studies to trace how variation in tense and aspect reflects deeper patterns of semantic change, driven themselves by the cognitive architecture of the linguistic and conceptual systems. 

I earned my PhD in Linguistics from Yale University in 2020, with a dissertation on dialectal variation and semantic change in Spanish Imperfective aspect, and have since held research positions in the Netherlands (Utrecht University) —where I worked on the Perfect/Perfective alternation in different Western European languages—, and in the U.S. (The Ohio State University) —where I did experimental work on the distinction between alienable and inalienable possession in Spanish.

Originally from Buenos Aires, I began my research career at the Instituto de Lingüística, focusing on the interface between grammar and cognition in individuals with agrammatism.
