Chiyo Nishida is Associate Professor of Spanish linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research focuses on Spanish syntax, with a particular interest in the behavior of pronominal clitics. She has published on such topics as the reflexive clitic se and eventualities, the second-position clitics in Old Spanish, and restructuring. She is also one of the few to apply Categorial Grammar to the analysis of Spanish syntax. Her recent research interests include argument realization and second language acquisition of the subjunctive mood.Cinzia Russi is Associate Professor of Italian and Romance Linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin. She specializes in historical linguistics particularly in the framework of grammaticalization. Currently her primary research interests focus on the grammaticalization of the Italian and Romance clitic pronouns, the origin and evolution of Italian verbi procomplementari, and the analysis of Italian verbs denoting the notions of lack and necessity, and the evolution of Italian and French aspectual verbs. She is the author of Italian Clitics. An Empirical Study (Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter, 2008).
