JUAN MIGUEL
LABIANO ILUNDAIN

Mikel Labiano took his doctor's degree in Classical Philology in the Faculty of Philology (Universidad de Salamanca)  in 1999, with his thesis on interjections in Aristophanic Comedy, under the supervision of Dr. Antonio López Eire. This thesis was published as a book the following year: Estudio de las interjecciones en las comedias de Aristófanes. Amsterdam: Hakkert, 2000. After several positions at the Universities of La Rioja and Complutense de Madrid, in 2003 he got the post of professor at the Universitat de València, until the present. Along with this line of research in Aristophanic Comedy, particularly in everything related to the conversational language of Ancient Greek, he has also studied the Euripidean tragedy, of which he has published some translations in Editorial Cátedra and Alianza Editorial (Eurípides. Tragedias II. Madrid: Cátedra, 1999; Eurípides. Tragedias III. Madrid: Cátedra, 2000; Eurípides. El Cíclope. Ión. Reso. Madrid: Alianza Editorial, 2010), in addition to some linguistic and philological studies. He has also had the opportunity to study linguistic features of the Corpus Hippocraticum, in terms of history of language, in orden to try to contribute to the long list of studies that deal with the complex formation of this rich and varied corpus. These studies have also led him to participate in recent years in two research projects on forgeries, literary pseudepigraphs and problems of authorship, with special attention to the letters and pseudepigraphic writings in the Hippocraticum Collection. He is currently a member of GRATUV (Grup de Recerca i Acció Teatral de la Universitat de València), where he proposes to further study the modes of linguistic expression of political violence, according to the models of study on politeness and impoliteness successfully applied to modern Indo-European languages, and also to ancient Greek.
