Presentation

This dossier is a tribute to Heliana Mello, offered by former students, friends, and colleagues who collaborated with her throughout her academic career. At the same time, it celebrates the fifteen years of activity of the Laboratory for Empirical and Experimental Studies of Language (Leel), of which Heliana was among the founders and the first coordinator, beginning in 2009. The volume brings together contributions that reflect many of the disciplinary areas in which Heliana was engaged.
