Author Biographies

Patrick C. Trettenbrein, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences

Professor Trettenbrein is a cognitive scientist-in-training, working in the laboratory of Angela D. Friederici at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. His area of research interest is the neurobiology of language, focusing on the modality (in)dependence of linguistic computations in the brain.

Miguel Ángel Mahecha Bermúdez, South Colombian University

Teacher in the area of Linguistics, Literature and Spanish Language program, Faculty of Education, Universidad Surcolombiana (Colombia).

Rubén Arboleda Toro, National University of Colombia

Master's and PhD studies in General and Spanish Linguistics at the Instituto Caro y Cuervo (Colombia) and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, respectively. Pensioned professor at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Currently, he has an ongoing independent research on syntactic theories and generative syntax models, from which a book will be derived.
