Biography
My research focuses on child first and second language acquisition. I am particularly interested in language acquisition at the semantics-syntax interface, i.e. how children assign meaning to linguistic forms (words and sentences), and in the relationship between linguistic and cognitive development. To this end, I experimentally investigate how certain linguistic and gestural expressions affect language comprehension. My research covers a variety of linguistic phenomena, including adjectives, negation and complex sentences (especially causal connectives).
I am also interested in how findings from language acquisition research can be transferred to language teaching.
