Antje Muntendam (MA Leiden University, Ph.D. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is an Associate Professor of Linguistics and Spanish at Florida State University. Before joining Florida State University in August 2014, she worked as an Assistant Professor at Middlebury College and Radboud University Nijmegen (the Netherlands). Her research focuses on the linguistic outcomes of bilingualism and language contact, both in production and comprehension. Specifically, she is interested in the nature and direction of cross-linguistic influence and in code-switching. She has worked on several language pairs, including Quechua and Spanish Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, Turkish and Dutch in the Netherlands, and Spanish and English in the United States. She is also the co-founder and co-organizer of the international conference on Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world (BHL).
