Curriculum Vitae
Jeroen van Craenenbroeck (º1976) studied Germanic languages at the Catholic University of Brussels (now HUB), the University of Leiden and the University of Leuven. After his studies, he worked at the Catholic University of Brussels for one year as a research assistant in medieval Dutch literature. In 1999 he became a PhD-student at the University of Leiden, and in 2004 he obtained his PhD cum laude with the dissertation “Ellipsis in Dutch dialects”. This book has since appeared—in a modified form—with Oxford University Press under the title “The syntax of ellipsis. Evidence from Dutch dialects” (2010). In 2004 he started teaching Dutch linguistics at the Catholic University of Brussels (later KU Leuven, campus Brussels), and he got tenure there in 2008. In 2011 he was promoted to Associate Professor and in 2014 he was appointed at the Leuven campus of KU Leuven.
