Hi, I'm Martín Fuchs, a linguist who studies how pairings between forms and meanings vary and change over time and across dialects and languages. I'm an Assistant Professor (Profesor-Investigador) at the Centro de Estudios Lingüísticos y Literarios (CELL) of El Colegio de México. 

My research combines experimental methods and corpus studies to explore how variation in tense and aspect markers reveals broader patterns of semantic change, and how these patterns relate to the cognitive organization of linguistic and conceptual systems. 

I received my PhD in Linguistics from Yale University in 2020, with a dissertation on dialectal variation and semantic change in Spanish Imperfective aspect. Since then, I have held postdoctoral research positions in the Netherlands (Utrecht University), where I worked on Perfect/Perfective alternations across Western European languages; in the U.S. (The Ohio State University), where I conducted experimental research on the distinction between alienable and inalienable possession in Spanish; and in Germany (Freie Universität Berlin), where I worked on the ERC-funded EXREAN project, studying the grammaticalization of FINISH-constructions, and the changes in reference (impersonal to first-person plural) of the French pronoun on.

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.
