Ander Egurtzegi (Spain, March 22, 1986) is a Spanish linguist renowned for his work in historical phonology, phonetics, and diachronic linguistics. He is currently a senior researcher (chargé de recherche) at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in the IKER UMR-5478 laboratory.

Biography

Ander Egurtzegi earned his degree in German Philology in 2008 and another in Basque Philology in 2010, both from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). During this period, he developed a strong interest in phonetics and phonology, leading him to complete a master’s degree in Linguistics (2010) at the same university and a second master’s in Phonetics and Phonology (2012) at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).

In 2014, he defended his doctoral thesis in Linguistics (with international mention) at UPV/EHU, under the supervision of Joseba Lakarra and Juliette Blevins. His dissertation, titled Towards a Phonetically Grounded Diachronic Phonology of Basque, was awarded the Best Doctoral Dissertation Award by the Basque Government.

In 2024, he obtained a habilitation in Linguistics from the Université Paris Cité with a dissertation on the typology of sound change. Egurtzegi has held research positions at prestigious international institutions such as the Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing at the University of Munich and the City University of New York.
