Trotter 301
Tuesday, November 10th

Manuel Delicado Cantero earmed his Licenciatura en Filología Hispánica, from the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha in Ciudad Real (Spain), for which he received the Premio extraordinario de promoción, and his Diploma de Estudios Avanzados in Spanish. He attended the Instituto Universitario Ortega y Gasset in Madrid, where he continued his education in formal syntax. He obtained his Ph.D. in Spanish from The Ohio State University, with a concentration on Hispanic Linguistics.

Professor Delicado Cantero specializes in Spanish syntax, with emphasis on historical and comparative analyses. His areas of research are the internal structure and features of prepositional finite clauses --both in Spanish and crosslinguistically, present-day and historical languages--, giving distinct consideration to their consequences upon the theory of abstract Case, the nature of the categories Preposition and Complementizer Phrase. He has presented his research in several national and international conferences, and has published on Spanish colloquial relative clauses and the syntax of prepositional finite clauses. His current interests focus on formal approaches to intra- and inter-linguistic syntactic variation and change.

At Swarthmore College, Manuel Delicado Cantero teaches courses on advanced Spanish grammar and composition, and language classes at the beginning and intermediate level.
