She is co-editor of the Open Generative Grammar series published by Language Science Press, and editor-in-chief of Brill's Grammars and Sketches of the World's Languages/Romance series.

Irene Franco is a Post-doctoral Fellow in the Faculty of Romance Languages and Literature at Goethe Universitat Frankfurt, and is currently working on a project on quantification in Old Italian.

Her work has appeared in Isogloss, Rivista di Grammatica Generativa, and MIT Working Papers, and in edited volumes from OUP and John Benjamins.

Angel J. Gallego is Professor Agregat at the Departamento de Filologia Espanyola of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona and a member of the Centre de Linguistica Teorica. His principal research interests and publications are in the areas of formal syntax and parametric variation (especially within Romance languages).

Developing the Framework (Mouton de Gruyter, 2012).
