Newcastle University

Michelle Sheehan is a Professor of Linguistics at Newcastle University. She is interested in the structure of language (syntactic theory, hence the trees), how languages vary and how we can model this variation (typology, comparative syntax),  how structure and meaning interact (syntax/semantics interface) and how linguistics fits into the discipline of modern languages (pedagogical linguistics). She has a particular interest in languages descended from Latin (Romance languages), especially Spanish and Portuguese varieties but is also interested in language in general and have worked on many different languages, often in collaboration with other scholars.
