Between 2005 and 2013, Fanego served as editor-in-chief of the Societas Linguistica Europaea's journal Folia Linguistica.[2] In 2017 she was elected member of the Academia Europaea.[1] In 2018 she was the recipient of a double festschrift containing contributions by David Denison and Raymond Hickey among many others.[4]
Research[edit]
Fanego's research has focused on the history of English, with a special focus on syntax, Early Modern English, and the language of Shakespeare.[1] She was an early adopter of corpus-linguistic methods in historical linguistics, with research interests in corpus design, compilation and types as well as corpus-based studies of grammatical variation.[2] Her work on the development of the English gerund is widely cited.[5] She has further research interests in the morphosyntax of contemporary English, grammaticalization, discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, and construction grammar.[1]
