Enric Vallduví (PhD: linguistics, University of Pennsylvania, 1990) is associate professor in the Department of Translation and Language Sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona (since 1995), where he has lectured in graduate and undergraduate courses on pragmatics and semantics, crosslinguistic variation, English grammar, and the history of the English language. Previously, he had been visiting professor at University of Southern California (1990-91) and research associate at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (1991-92) and University of Edinburgh (1993-95). He has also taught courses at Cornell University, Universität Wien, and Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.

Vallduví specializes in the study of linguistic meaning in context (information packaging, dialogue modelling and discourse segmentation, reference, etc.) and its structural realization -syntactic, morphological and intonational-- and is a member of the officially-recognized Formal Linguistics Group (GLIF) and of UPF's larger Linguistics Research Unit (UR-LING). In recent years he has lead research projects on information structure and context modelling, noncanonical constructions and discourse particles and participated as collaborating researcher in projects on information structure and word order, discourse, evidentiality, and long-distance dependencies. His work has appeared in journals like Linguistics, Probus, and Journal of Pragmatics and books published by Academic Press, Cambridge University Press, CSLI/Stanford, Garland Publishing, Oxford University Press, and Routledge.
