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 currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Freie Universität Berlin, working on the ERC-funded project "Experimental Replication of Historical Reanalysis Processes" (EXREAN), which investigates how diachronic shifts in language can be replicated experimentally. 

My research combines experimental methods and corpus studies to explore how variation in tense and aspect reveals broader patterns of semantic change, and how these patterns relate to the cognitive organizaton of linguistic and conceptyal 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 research positions in the Netherlands (Utrecht University), where I worked on Perfect/Perfective alternations across Western European languages, and in the U.S. (The Ohio State University), where I conducted experimental research 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.
