My research investigates how language users of all kinds – adults and children, monolingual and bilingual – process and learn language. I am particularly interested in how we integrate information from various linguistic (e.g., phonological, syntactic, semantic) and non-linguistic (e.g., event structure, visual information) sources, how we do so as quickly and successfully as we typically do in everyday communication, and how input and experience influence our language learning and use.
Areas of Expertise:
- Sentence processing
- Developmental Psycholinguistics
- Childhood bilingualism
