Javier Olloqui-Redondo

My name is Javier Olloqui-Redondo and I am currently doing my PhD in English Linguistics at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. My PhD dissertation is titled Alienable and inalienable possession: A contrastive analysis of the encoding of cultural elements in Spanish and in English.

My research covers a range of topics linking cognitive and cultural processes with language and discourse, as my publications show:

a) Olloqui-Redondo, J., Tenbrink, T., Foltz, A. (in press). To the Left of to the Right? The Impact of Animacy on Spatial Configurations in English and Spanish. Language and Cognition.

b) Olloqui Redondo, J. (2018). Review of Viaje Lingüístico por el Mundo: Iniciación a la

Tipología de las Lenguas, E. Bernárdez. Dialogía, 12, 235–241.

c) Olloqui Redondo, J. (2016). La patria en el discurso político de Pablo Iglesias: La construcción del concepto de patriotismo constructivo a través del lenguaje metafórico. Cuadernos de Investigación filológica, 42, 173-205.

The talks I have given at different conferences are closely related to my published research:

a) ‘Nación y liderazgo político: Análisis cognitivo de estrategias metafóricas en el contexto español’. Universidad de Sevilla.

b) ‘Inalienability in Spanish and in English: A project on the expression of cultural elements and how to teach them in an SLT environment’. Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

c) ‘To the left or to the right? The impact of animacy on spatial configurations in English and Spanish’. Bangor University.

d) ‘¿A la izquierda o a la derecha? Diferencias y similitudes al representar las relaciones espaciales en inglés y en español’. Universidad de Alcalá de Henares.

e) ‘Relative versus intrinsic frames of reference in static lateral scenes: the animate and social factors in the processes of perspective-taking and frame-selection in English and Spanish’ Universidad de Comillas.

f) ‘The Spanish middle passive analysed from a Cognitive Grammar viewpoint’. University of Edinburgh.

Finally, I was part of the organising and scientific committee of the Universidad Complutense Postgraduate Conference on English Linguistics (UPCEL, 2017) and the UK Cognitive Linguistics Association Conference (UKCLC, 2016).
