Английская Википедия:Bettelou Los
Шаблон:Short description Bettelou Los is a linguist and philologist specializing in the history of the English language. Since 2013 she has held the Forbes Chair of English Language at the University of Edinburgh.[1][2]
Academic career
Los received her MA from the University of Amsterdam in 1986. After spending some time working as a translator, she obtained her PhD in 2000 from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; her dissertation focused on infinitives in Old and Middle English. From 2004 she held positions as lecturer first at the Vrije Universiteit and then at Radboud University Nijmegen, where she was promoted to senior lecturer in 2008, before moving to Edinburgh in 2013.[1][2]
Research
Los is known for her work on language change in the history of English and other early Germanic languages, particularly in the domain of syntax. Information structure and its interaction with syntactic change has played an important role in her more recent work. Her book on the rise of the to-infinitive in English is the standard reference on that subject, and she has also carried out important work on discourse adverbs, particles, and verb-second, among other topics. She is also the author of a textbook on English historical syntax and co-editor of the handbook on the history of the English language along with Ans van Kemenade.[1]
